Science and Buddhism have fundamentally different approaches to understanding reality. In the realm of science, knowledge and logic play a pivotal role. Science gathers understanding about the real world and condenses it into verifiable laws. By dividing, classifying, analyzing, comparing, and measuring, scientists interpret these laws through the abstract language of mathematics. Of course, intuition also has its place in science, but it only yields results when systematized within the rigorous structure of mathematics and validated by observation and analysis.
In contrast, intuition-or inner experience-plays the primary role in the Buddhist approach to reality. While science looks outward, Buddhism looks inward, using contemplation as a means of approach. Science is concerned with the objective world, whereas Buddhism focuses on the self. Instead of breaking reality down into distinct components as in the reductionist method of science, Buddhism approaches things holistically to understand them as an undivided whole. Buddhism does not rely on measuring instruments or sophisticated observational tools, which are the backbone of experimental science. It is more qualitative than quantitative.
However, the primary difference between the pursuit of knowledge in science and Buddhism lies in their ultimate goals. The aim of science is to understand the phenomenal world, focusing on knowledge about the physical universe, considered objective and quantifiable, to achieve control over the natural world. In contrast, in Buddhism, knowledge is primarily acquired for therapeutic purposes. The goal of Buddhism is not to understand the physical universe for its own sake but to free individuals from the suffering caused by excessive attachment to the apparent reality of the external world. Empirical investigation is not the main objective of Buddhism. Instead, Buddhism seeks to understand the true nature of all phenomena to dispel ignorance and open the path to Enlightenment and liberation. Rather than using telescopes, accelerators, or microscopes, Buddhism uses the mind as the instrument for investigating the universe, emphasizing the understanding of the nature of the mind through direct meditative experience. Over centuries, Buddhism has developed profound and rigorous methods concerning the understanding of spiritual states and the ultimate nature of the mind. The mind stands behind every life experience, shaping how we perceive the world. A small change in consciousness, in how we deal with mental states and perceive people and things, can completely transform our world. Instead of focusing on the third-person perspective-the domain of the objective phenomenal world as in classical science-Buddhism also emphasizes the first-person perspective.
With such fundamental differences in methods and goals, is there a common ground for dialogue between science and Buddhism? What does Buddhism have to say about the nature of phenomena when this is primarily the concern of science? The definite answer is yes. One of the main tasks of Buddhist philosophy is to investigate the nature of reality. While science is not the main concern of Buddhism, it has addressed similar questions to those posed by contemporary science.
*_Buddhism is Science of Mind.... It's amazing philosophy. Buddhism is the KEY for long-term Peace of this World._*
So heart touching , Buddha was truely amazing.❤
Imagine this world if Buddhism was the dominant religion.
It will happen during the advent of Buddha Metteyya or second coming of JC as foretold by the historical Buddha.
@@senglim2911The Buddha made no mention of Jesus Christ, not once, ever.
@@wordscapes5690 Yep! Outside of the Bible, there is not a shred of evidence that the historical Jesus even existed.
Buddha told 4 noble truth about sufferings and 8 fold path. Putting ism after Buddha is not proper. It is not religion. No creator, no heaven and hell.
@@sandeepnerurkar4918 I am a Buddhist. My religion is a religion. It is also much, much more. We do indeed have hell realms, but they are not eternal.
Thanks for your explaination videos. Please free your note PDF. Win Win!
Much obliged.
👍 great,
The basic tenet of Buddha Dharma include dependant origination Sunyata缘起性空, in fact, 諸行無常, 諸法無我, 涅槃寂靜 are called 三法印, three dharma seals . Impermance 無常, all these concepts can be found in Buddha texts, but of course , if you are not humble enough, not diligent enough, you are unable to delve into the sea of Buddha Dharma by reading thousands of texts, not to mention the retreats required to attain enlightenment
Thank you sir for explaining the relation between science and Buddhism.
Thanks friend for doing that wonderfull job. .Blessings.
What is the background music used in this video?
In the practice of the Dhamma, one does not contemplate. Knowing arises from within when one reaches that particular level of purity. If one contemplates on the Dhamma, one cannot possibly reach Anatta. Anatta comes with sunyata, which comes with no spurious thoughts from within. To reach Anatta, one needs to practise and perfect the Brahma Vihara of Metta, Karuna, Mudita and Upekha first.
Buddha discovered we have 52 stores of thought call 52 skhandas thought and 32 parts of body.
Buddhism is often erroneously claimed as being atheistic in essence, but in reality Buddha shows how reality cannot be defined, like proving divine design. Although we can see and feel reality yet we cannot prove it. Our perception is the proof. Physics and metaphysics together explain reality..
Lotus 🪷 Sûtra. 🙏☸️
Lotus sutra is a Mahayana text. Mahayana and Tibetan Buddhism developed more than 600 years and 1000 years respectively after Buddha. so they contain a lot of teachings which deviate from the original teaching of Buddha. Sad to see later practices deteriorate into superstition, relaxation of monks precepts, tantric, mantras etc. This greatly deviate from the cultivation of virtue, deep meditation and insight wisdom found in the original teachings. Cheers.
This information is good but can you stop using dramatic effect music in the background? It takes away the truth in the Dharma.
I'm sorry but I'm not particularly impressed by this presentation. Call me pedantic, but throughout the video I almost never find any citation of any Buddhist texts. From which _sutta_ did you get this or that view? Which chapter, which verse? Unless you offer citations, how am I to know you're not putting words in the Buddha's mouth?
Some of the scientific ideas brought up in this video have also been questioned, such as the Big Bang Theory and the notion that the Universe is 'running down'.
Finally, where do we find Einstein actually examining or taking about Buddhism? Is there some letter he wrote, or are there some pages from some of his diaries? Could you _CITE_ some of the literature, please? Did Einstein even just know about what the Buddha said and taught, let alone express amazement at what he taught and said?
I don't think either Einstein or the Buddha would have approved of this video.
Gotta put down plate of milk if want kitties to drink.🎭
