Toward a Union of Love and Knowledge
Tibetan Buddhism and Modern Physics: Toward a Union of Love and Knowledge explores dialogue and collaboration between Buddhism and science, revealing both connections and differences.
Accessible to readers without a background in Buddhism or physics, it examines links between emptiness, quantum nonlocality, relativity, and the nature of time. The book also considers a key conflict concerning causality and argues that the interconnected worldview shared by Tibetan Buddhism and modern physics supports universal compassion, offering a basis for a true union of love and knowledge.
With a foreword by His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
