Buddhism and Science

Awakening the Buddha in us: Buddhism and Science - Ajahn Brahmavamso

One of the most inspiring articles I've read in a long long time. A little more insight, and I just might find my true calling.

I would call it reassuring more than inspiring. I think a parent would agree. :)
Nice find, child.

You know what, we were talking abt truth, belief, fact and reality..
we were asked to define them...

Sexy!

i dunno why but as i started to read somethin in me resisted to accept his ideas, his way of thinkin! about meditation and using it to look into inner self! i also asked him the same thing about what i will gain out of knowin my past life other than satisfying my curiosity!
i dunno AC tell me....

OK I am extremely cynical...
True calling really how? I would love to know...
What exactly would I get if I got to look back in my life? Hmm that is intresting wouldnt quite mind that. BUt Really what the hell is looking inwards???
Freud makes logical sense for me and I measure peopple in that regard. And this whole deal about meditation makes no sense at all to me. I dont agree with it even though I have done through yoga... NOw yoga I undertsnd but not meditation...
THough that brings in question my beliefs in the boons which gods used to grant but then thats a discussion for another day...

there are some points here and there which I still disagree with... but the points about "religion which permits and encourages questions" and "turning the telescope inwards" are SUBLIMATION Inc.

P.S: why deleted the newer posts?
