AlbertEinstein?Buddhism has the characteristics of what would be expected in a cosmic
It transcends a personal God, avoids dogmas and theology; it covers both the natural and the spiritual, and it is based on a religious sense aspiring from the experience of all things, natural and spiritual, as a meaningful unity.?
I neither agree or disagree. That is his personal opinion on it. I find that Catholicism works for me (and I used to be Protestant), and if Buddhism works for him or other people, so be it.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion.
Albert Einstein changed his statement twice... Once he Said that Universe is expanding but later he said it was my biggest mistake. Likewise if what he said it Truth then where are Buddhists, I don't see many around....
Yes. All that is true. I have very often read deep philosophical Budhist texts and they struck me as deeply scientific and religious at once.
Now it is true that Buddhism sprang from Hinduism which originally was such a transcendental cosmic religion and science, but Buddhism originated when Hinduism became too personal and corrupt. It is a worthy heir to the Upanishads, the most "objective" and philosophical part of the Vedas.
Don't see... many... Buddhists? Don't live in China, do you? Estimates vary, but even low estimates are around 300 million worldwide. That's a little more than the population of the entire united states, for comparison.
yes Mr Einstein was wise as well as intelligent. I've studied Buddhism about 40 yrs now.
as for not many around? you've got to be kidding, or hopelessly in the dark. then i suppose you've never pried yr self outta that small town America and hit the road.
a trip to Asia would be most enlightening. might i suggest Chinese new year when Buddhists from all over the world go to Asia. you probably find one or two over there.
