Autorenporträt

Einstein: "Our task must be to widen our understanding and compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty" - Albert Einstein Buddha: "True happiness comes not from a limited concern for one's own well-being, but from developing love and compassion for all sentient beings" - Dalai Lama Einstein: "The principle of science is the following: The test of all knowledge is experiment. Experiment is the sole judge of scientific truth" - Richard Feynman Buddha: "Personal experience is the foundation of Buddhist philosophy. In this sense Buddhism is a radical empiricism or experimentalism" - D. T. Suzuki Einstein: "Under typical conditions of ordinary experience, each thing is seen as relatively separate and related only externally to other things" - David Bohm Buddha: "If we are ordinary beings, objects seem to be independent of our mind and independent of other phenomena" - Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Einstein: "The central recognition of the theory of relativity is that geometry is a construct of the intellect" - H. Margenau Buddha: "Space is nothing but a mode of particularization and has no real existence of its own. Space exists only in realtion to our particularizing consciousness" - Dalai Lama
