tatidengo 's review for:

The Universe in a Single Atom by Dalai Lama XIV

5.0

---

I can't claim to have processed everything I read to the point that I could relay it someone else so that they could also understand it, but it is a worthwhile read if only for how absolutely interesting it is. The Dalai Lama raises a lot of questions on the ethical use of science, often prompting us to think about what certain advances entail for our humanity, and what historical impacts these choices will create. There's also a lot of awesome parallels drawn between the conclusions of ancient Buddhists, and the discoveries of modern science. Often, they reach indentical conclusions.

Anyone who is even remotely interested in science (and spirituality) could find enjoyment in this book, it's not just for Buddhists or those interested in Buddhism.
