The Universe In A Single Atom: How science and spirituality can serve our world

If you are looking for a clear introduction to the science/spirituality debate, which is everything to do with the issues generated by differing worldviews, then this is an excellent place to start. The Dalai Lama takes you through his journey into and through science and clearly points out and clarifies the landmarks on the way. So he provides you with some excellent orienteering in a region that could easily overwhelm. But, just in case you make the assumption that this is therefore only for newcomers to the discussions that have been taking place between thoughtful people in both science and religion for many years, take a pause. This is a wonderfully clear overview that will provide those readers already acquainted with the issues with a valuable summary of what's involved. The dialogue between Buddhism and Science is proving to be very fertile, especially in the area of brain, mind and consciousness; the Dalai Lama's ability to communicate wonder, generosity and humility reveals just how nourishing and fruitful that dialogue can be. If you've been irritated or perhaps saddened by the simplistic treatment of the human search for meaning, purpose and value by the headline grabbers in the field of science and religious debate, enjoy this rich and deceptively simple exploration of the domain.

Fantastic read. HH The Dalai Lama makes Tibetan Buddhist philosophy easy to understand, which helps make it easier to practice the teachings in our lives.

Very hard reading and deep.

Fascinating, very readable and enlightening

The Dalai Lama is always an inspiration, but more than that he is always looking for and communicating possibilities to make the world a better place for everyone - regardless of religion or other beliefs. Science traditionally bags spirituality - the DL shows how they can and must work together for the sake of all life on earth.

Delivered on time, good packaging, quality product

I purchased one that came in 'good' condition. It was actually in okay and not good condition. The description of the condition should have been longer than that. Over all i am enjoying this book , its brilliant at bringing science and spirituality together

interesting to have dcience mixed with a spiritual philosophy

Love this book! A book for live. To study again and again.

I recently read " A Universe from Nothing " by Prof L. Krauss. I recommend it highly , it is cutting edge quantum physics in laymans terms , and is very interesting and entertaining to read. "The Universe in a Single atom " is from 2005 , but the ideas discussed by the Dalai Lama are somewhat older. The blending of ancient thoughts with modern quantum physics is mind boggling. Any book that the Dalai Lama produces is worthy of a look , he is a knowledgeable fellow , but this book is a gem in two different disciplines . Very heavy stuff, highly recommended , and on the Amazon used market it is inexpensive.

Very great books for to know this universal appearance

Dem Dalai Lama gelingt es, Wissenschaft und Die Frage nach dem Bewusstsein in den Kontext von Spiritualitaet zu setzen. Dabei ist er stets auf dem Boden der Dinge, findet anschauliche Bilder und berührt den Leser. Wir sind alle eins, Danke fuer das gute Buch! Hat mir viel Freude bereitet.

Anche se ho acquistato in libreria questo libro in Spagnolo a Caracas, nel 2007, ho preferito acquistarlo nuovamente in Inglese, che sarebbe per cosi dire, la versione originale. Infatti sua Eminenza il Dalai Lama, spiega e racconta il Punto di vista del Big Bang, l'esempio di Paradosso dei Gemelli collegato con il viaggio di Asanga all'Universo di Maitreya, nella tradizione Budista ... ecc. E' un libro il cui piano mentale ... mi ha inspirtato significativamente il mio libro, in fase di sviluppo, 'Why Einstein Theory of Relativity is Wrong?' ... che pubblichero anche in Italiano ... Infine la proposta del Dalai Lama, viene assolutamente da questo libro ed é ... 'La Scienza della Coscienza'.
