This dialogue is captivating provides a glimpse further convergence between the discoveries made during the past century and now in the field of experimental science, and knowledge from Eastern traditions.
I, however, allow me to make a little criticism about the content present in this book, is that the knowledge of Buddhism seems superficial and not sufficiently thorough, and does not reflect the true teaching of Buddhism in its essence. For example, the anthropic principle is in perfect agreement with the Buddhist tradition, contrary to the claims of Trinh Xuan Thuan.
For a more objective and profound study of Buddhism, here are two essential works:
- Hinduism and Buddhism Ananda K. (Ananda Kentish) Coomaraswamy
- Treasures of Buddhism Frithjof Schuon
