Praised by the Wise

"...the beginnings of cosmic religious feeling already appear in early stages of development eg. in many of the Psalms of David and in some of the Prophets. Buddhism contains much stronger elements of it. The religion of the future will be a cosmic religion. It should transcend a personal God and avoid dogmas and theology. Covering both the natural and the spiritual, it should be based on a religious sense arising from the experience of all things, natural and spiritual and a meaningful unity. Buddhism answers this description. If there is any religion that copes with modern scientific needs it would be Buddhism."

Albert Einstein, Nobel laureate for Physics and Time magazine's Person of the Century
