BUDDHISM BEGINS WHERE SCIENCE ENDS

Sunday, April 24, 2011
Science can give no assurance herein. But Buddhism can meet the Atomic Challenge, because the supramundane knowledge of Buddhism begins where science leaves off. And this is clear enough to anyone who has made a study of Buddhism. For, through Buddhist Meditation, the atomic constituents making up matter have been seen and felt, and the sorrow, or unsatisfactoriness (or Dukkha), of their "arising and pasing away" (dependent on causes )has made itself with what we call a 'soul' or 'atma'- the illusion of Sakkayaditthi, as it is called in the Buddha's teaching.
