empirical observations of contemporary science.
INTUITIVE UNDERSTANDING OF THE ANCIENTS

Buddhism answers this description. If there is any religion that could cope with modern scientific needs it would be Buddhism.” Albert Einstein

“The cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the universe to know itself.” “The notion that science and spirituality are somehow mutually exclusive does a disservice to both.” Carl Sagan
