The Universe in a Single Atom - Dalai Lama - Audio Book

From: http://www.randomhouse.com/catalog/display.pperl?isbn=9780739322659 Gallileo, Copernicus, Newton, Niels Bohr, Einstein. Their insights shook our perception of who we are and where we stand in the world and in their wake have left an uneasy co-existence: science vs. religion, faith vs. empirical enquiry. Which is the keeper of truth? Which is the true path to understanding reality? After forty years of study with some of the greatest scientific minds as well as a lifetime of meditative, spiritual and philosophical study, the Dalai Lama presents a brilliant analysis of why both disciplines must be pursued in order to arrive at a complete picture of the truth. Science shows us ways of interpreting the physical world, while spirituality helps us cope with reality. But the extreme of either is impoverishing. The belief that all is reducible to matter and energy leaves out a huge range of human experience: emotions, yearnings, compassion, culture. At the same time, holding unexamined spiritual beliefs?beliefs that are contradicted by evidence, logic, and experience?can lock us into fundamentalist cages. Through an examination of Darwinism and karma, quantum mechanics and philosophical insight into the nature of reality, neurobiology and the study of consciousness, the Dalai Lama draws significant parallels between contemplative and scientific examination of reality. ?I believe that spirituality and science are complementary but different investigative approaches with the same goal of seeking the truth,? His Holiness writes. ?In this, there is much each may learn from the other, and together they may contribute to expanding the horizon of human knowledge and wisdom.? This breathtakingly personal examination is a tribute to the Dalai Lama?s teachers?both of science and spirituality. The legacy of this book is a vision of the world in which our different approaches to understanding ourselves, our universe and one another can be brought together in the service of humanity.

I'm not sure what it says that the only 2 other ppl to leave comments about this truly insightful and enlightened piece of literature seem to have the grammatical command of a lobotomized mongoloid, except that you all should take note and dl this and comment for your own sake because it doesn't speak well for the rest of you.

...And, I'm not sure as to why Roc Strongo there would acknowledge an appreciation of the aforementioned material whilst on the other hand lay down derogatory comments that clearly contradict his intended impression and purpose of phrase. - Remember, a dog that chases his tail, moves only to trip his master :)

Great stuff. I had the opportunity to sit in a room with no more than 20 other people and hear an informal talk by His Holiness. Later, I was introduced to him. He radiates kindness and profound understanding. A sense of humor, too.

Trying to sound intelligent and being intelligent are 2 completely different things. I know some pretty well-spoken idiots as well as some illiterates with a good sense of the universe.
