Galileo, Copernicus, Newton, Niels Bohr, Einstein. Their insights shook our perception of who we are and where we stand in the world, and in their wake have left an uneasy coexistence: science vs. religion, faith vs. empirical inquiry. Which is the keeper of truth? Which is the true path to understanding reality? After forty years of study with some of the greatest scientific minds, as well as a lifetime of meditative, spiritual, and philosophic study, the Dalai Lama presents a brilliant analysis of why all avenues of inquiry—scientific as well as spiritual—must be pursued in order to arrive at a complete picture of the truth. Through an examination of Darwinism and karma, quantum mechanics and philosophical insight into the nature of reality, neurobiology and the study of consciousness, the Dalai Lama draws significant parallels between contemplative and scientific examinations of reality. This breathtakingly personal examination is a tribute to the Dalai Lama’s teachers—both of science and spirituality. The legacy of this book is a vision of the world in which our different approaches to understanding ourselves, our universe, and one another can be brought together in the service of humanity.

Very small font
I ordered this book as a gift for my dad on his 86th birthday. I had expected better quality since it is quite expensive, but was very disappointed to see the tiny font when I received the book. This means it's useless now since he won't be able to read it. I think this information must be included in the product description. I can't even return or exchange this book. I am obviously not commenting on the content.

Heavy duty Stuff. Read "A Universe from Nothing" , then this...
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.

Un libro inspirador sobre las relaciones entre ciencia y espiritualidad
El Dalai Lama es uno de los pocos lídres de una gran religión que tiene la valentía y la honestidad de explorar las relaciones entre ciencia y budismo sin prejuicios y sin complejos. Su lenguaje es fácil de seguir y su claridad de pensamiento admirable. Es un libro excelente para cualquier persona que tenga interés en la espiritualidad y/o en la ciencia. En resumen, un libro inspirador.

Wirklich lesenswert!
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.

Deceptively simple!
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.

Un Libro ispirtatore e chiarificatore ...
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'.
