Product Description
The search for the ultimate reality seems to have been the epitome of intellectual and spiritual pursuit of humankind since time immemorial. So far, those who embark on such a journey generally have to choose between the two roads: scientific or metaphysical/religious. This book uniquely attempts to merge these traditionally two separate paths into one. On the one hand, the book retells and explains some of the most fascinating scientific concepts from a metaphysical perspective based on four major eastern religions, namely Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Taoism. The topics discussed are wide-ranging and include, for example, the big bang, the big crunch, the cosmos, black holes, quarks, the Theory of Everything, thermodynamics, entropy, DNA, chromosomes, life, evolution, Darwinism and the human mind. Conversely, several main religious and metaphysical concepts --ranging from soul, heaven, hell, ghosts, demons, angels, karma, the karmic law, reincarnation, samsara (cycle of rebirth), nirvana, tao, moksha, dharma (nature) and the dharmic law-- are reformulated using scientific conceptual framework. This effort to stitch patches of scientific knowledge with eastern religious concepts and metaphysics into seamless whole, results in an integrated body of knowledge defined in the book as 'dharmodynamics', which encompasses and transcends science as we now know it. Though heavily based on the wisdom of ancient scriptures -- the Buddhist Tipitaka, the Hindu Vedas and Tao Te Ching-- the narration is in plain English with only few necessary and common Sanskrit and Pali terms. Readers will find the book very lucid and refreshingly readable. For conceptual clarity and reading pleasure, the text is richly illustrated with over thirty color diagrams, in addition to dozens of color photographs and humorous cartoons.
