Is Buddhism preferred religion of phisics?

Answer 1

Buddhism is a philosophy unto itself... it just happens to mesh nicely with the scientific world, but I've never seen any physicists more drawn to Buddhism than any other thing. If you're interested in the relationship between modern science and Buddhism, if you haven't already read, "The Quantum and the Lotus" by Matthieu Ricard and Trinh Xuan Thuan you might get a huge kick out of it.

As a Tibetan Buddhist myself, I find the logic of both fit together nicely.

Answer 2

I'd say, on the whole, Buddhism tends to be a more "philosophical," and less crass and dogmatic, religion than, oh, I don't know, Christianity.

That's not to say there aren't Buddhist cults that are just as vulgar and superstitious as The 700 Club - or that there aren't occasional Christians who refrain from hanging their spiritual hats on a literal interpretation of their long-exploded mythology.

But Buddhism in its better, "purer" forms partakes more of the "scientific" attitude. One does not meditate because the practice is "righteous" in any abstract sense, or because one seeks to petition some blown-up Freudian father-figure to fulfil one's wishes. One is simply seeking to still one's mind, and seeks a lifestyle which can best accomodate this.

Physics was Angican until he was 13 and then spent some time as an agnostic. Then he turned to Buddhism for a while. Then Physics did a Bob Dylan thing and became and evangelical Christian. I haven't him in a while so I am not sure if anything has changed. I will let you know.

Answer 4

definitely and with no shadow of a doubt i % Buddhism. Buddhism is all approximately suited action and suited theory. It factors out the reason of suffering (choose), and the ability of its end. Christianity, on the different hand, is rooted in concern, guilt and violence. Christians have perverted the training of Jesus into some thing he in no way meant them to be. Rudy: Buddhism isn't "relaxing." that's an exceedingly strict and stringent ethical code. that's lots extra stringent than something in Christianity. It does not deliver approximately "sin." It leads to marvelous habit and mindfulness. I strongly advise which you learn non secular and ethical structures before knocking them. It somewhat facilitates to be attentive to what you're speaking approximately.

Science has no religious preferences. It reveals facts based on evidence, nothing more.
