You raise a very interesting question. Although Albert Einstein was not a Buddhist, he made notable remarks about Buddhist philosophy. He once stated that if there were any religion that could align with modern science, it would be Buddhism. This primarily stems from the similarities between scientific thinking and the way Buddhism perceives the world: non-dogmatic, not based on blind faith, but grounded in observation, reasoning, and personal experience. Einstein did not "know" the mind of the Buddha but sensed the depth of Buddhist philosophy through its concepts, such as impermanence, dependent origination, and the interconnectedness of all things in the universe. These ideas resonate with the scientific principles he explored, such as the theory of relativity, which posits that time and space are not fixed but depend on the relationships between objects. As for the statement that "the Buddha surpasses any scientific mind," this highlights an essential aspect: the Buddha did not stop at theoretical understanding but emphasized direct realization - experiencing the nature of the mind and the universe through meditation and wisdom. This transcends the scope of experimental science, which focuses on the physical world and is limited by its methodologies. In a sense, Einstein and the Buddha approached the truth from different directions: one through observation and logical reasoning, the other through spiritual practice and direct insight. Both, however, shared a common goal - to understand the ultimate nature of the universe and life.

But how did Einstein knew the Buddha mind? He inferred through Buddhist literature. Buddha is beyond any scientist mind.
