Description

This book has the potential to be the Tao of Physics or the Dancing Wu Li Masters for the present day. With lively language, Alan Wallace puts the issues surrounding science and spirituality into perspective for the layperson without watering them down. He shows that the present split between these two fields of inquiry can be resolved through following a middle way that moves between an absolutely physical view of the universe and a nebulous spirituality based on wishful thinking.The mind is the place where science and spirituality can meet. Here a renowned scientist who is also a teacher of Buddhist meditation explores the nature of mind from scientific and spiritual perspectives to present a new model that incorporates the truths of contemplative spirituality. 'This book shows clearly and compellingly how Buddhism and other spiritual traditions may help enrich our understanding of the mind and its role in nature, without reducing it merely to a material function or property of the brain' - H. H. the Dalai Lama.
