Book Reviews of The Universe in a Single Atom: The Convergence of Science and Spirituality
Book Review: Bridges
Summary: 5 Stars
What I most admire about the Dalai Lama is his desire to build bridges. Where most religious leaders are divisive, he continues to try to find common ground. With this book, he attempts to build bridges between science and spirituality. While never pretending to be a scientist, he writes from the point of view of someone who's has a lifetime curiosity about science, as well as the opportunity to meet many of the greatest scientific minds in the world.
Throughout the book he explores subjects such as similarities between modern physics and Buddhist principals, the role of morality in science, and the origins of consciousness and the universe. Although rudimentary, at least from a scientific standpoint (which works for me, since I have no background in science), it's all fascinating. Ultimately, The Dalai Lama makes a plea to humanity that, as we use science to alleviate physical suffering, that we try to use compassion to alleviate emotional and spiritual suffering.
