愛因斯坦:「未來的宗教將是一種宇宙宗教」 佛教
它將是一種超越人格化神,遠離一切教條和神學的宗教。這種宗教,包容自然和精神兩個方面,作為一個有意義的統一體,必定是建立在由對事物的——無論是精神,還是自然的——實踐與體驗而產生的宗教觀念之上的。佛教符合這種特徵。——愛因斯坦
原文
「The religion of the future will be a cosmic religion. Buddhism has the characteristics of what would be expected in a cosmic religion for the future: it transcends a personal God, avoids dogmas and theology; it covers both the natural & spiritual, and it is based on a religious sense aspiring from the experience of all things, natural and spiritual, as a meaningful unity. Buddhism answers this description. If there is any religion that would cope with modern scientific needs, it would be Buddhism. ------- Albert Einstein
