Building on the author's own study and experiences in Buddhist meditation, this book incorporates the writings of contemporary Buddhist scholars, cognitive scientists and physicists to provide a fascinating and authoritative framework for the interpretation of the Buddha's teachings from a non dualist, non metaphysical approach. Together these views of science and Buddhism only complement and make clearer their own significance in light of each other. Not only are the Four Noble Truths, Eightfold Path, Karma, Anatta, and Dependent Origination interpreted in an explanatory manner but also the Buddha's experience of Enlightenment, compassion, knowledge and living is explored. Based on the author's own spiritual quest, this book is of interest to those who want a modern, coherent, well developed and integrated worldview to understand the importance of the fundamentals of the Buddha's teachings.
