Hello, landlord, I wonder if my article "Outlook on Life in Science and Buddhism" will help you. I always wanted to write about science and Buddhism, but in the end I was neither a scientist nor a Buddhist. At the end of this paper, I would like to talk about whether Buddhism with a history of more than 2,500 years is still applicable in the modern digital network era.

Science explores the world from an objective standpoint. Buddhism knows the world through the heart, and what Buddhists call "universal idealism" means that everything in the universe is a reflection of images in the mind, rather than idealism in philosophical concepts. Science is to know the world by summing up experience through phenomena and logic. Buddhism is to break the inner ignorance and persistence. Often do not answer questions according to conventional logic and people's inherent way of thinking, but directly break the persistent pursuit of results.

We ordinary people cling to impermanence and illusion precisely because we have been puzzled by the material world for a long time, and this material world is not constant. Buddha wisely told us that animals live and die, plants live and die, and minerals live and die. Since it is not common, these phenomena are all illusions. This illusion is like a bubble of dreams. For example, the dew in the morning will evaporate immediately. For example, when lightning comes, there will be a lot of noise, but it will soon disappear. We ordinary people are obsessed with this illusion and regard these illusions as routine, but they are influenced by conventional logical thinking and inertial thinking. It also includes hindering the development of inventions and discoveries in the scientific field. Einstein, a great scientist, invented the theory of relativity and broke through the conventional thinking. Before the release of atomic energy, scientists have always had a belief that there are more than 100 elements in the universe, and the smallest unit of the elements is the atom, which is indestructible. But as early as 1905, Einstein, a great scientist, foresaw that "matter and ability can be transformed into each other", and he once worked out a simple and clear formula: e = MC 2.

The great scientist Einstein said: "If there is a religion that can meet the needs of modern science and coexist with science, it must be Buddhism."

Let's talk about the comparison between Buddhism and science:

Methods: Buddhism is the observation object in the cognitive world, seeing the impermanence and selflessness of all laws, excluding subjective prejudice and desire, and making a correct understanding of the reality of all laws. Science is to observe phenomena and create hypotheses, which must be proved by experiments. Subjective prejudice cannot be penetrated.

Observation direction: Buddhism is Vipassana. Science is appearance.

Discovery: Buddhism is a direct proof, infinite philosophy and method. Science is the action of all phenomena, and it exists and develops relatively.

Utilitarianism: Buddhism is to thoroughly understand the truth of life and the universe, eradicate sadness and distress, and get rid of the shackles of life and death. Science is a material achievement in astronomy, physics, chemistry, engineering and medicine. Make human spirit out of balance.

Many important scientific discoveries in the past, Buddhism not only failed to stand the test of science like other religious theories, on the contrary, it became a powerful annotation of Buddhist theories and confirmed the greatness and correctness of Buddhism. It is generally believed that philosophy is a theory guiding specific scientific and a theory about the world outlook. Dr. Sun Yat-sen said: "Buddhism is the mother of philosophy. Learning Buddhism can make up for the bias of science. " The Buddha has clearly told us the nature of the world in the Diamond Sutra more than 2,500 years ago. The Diamond Sutra says: "If the world is not the world, it will be famous." The so-called world is a combination of various factors, which are interdependent and cannot exist alone. Such a combination cannot be the object of our consciousness, so the world is not the world. But for the convenience of speaking, I have to give the world a pseudonym. The real world is unspeakable and incredible), of course, we will think that this statement of the Buddha is in line with the findings of modern scientists. Now let's go back to science and Buddhism. Most people think that science does not attach importance to the function of "heart". Heart is a wonderful use to guide all scientific practice. In the modern network digital age, everything is clear, and there is no contradiction between science and Buddhism. The direct bridge between science and Buddhism-truth.
