Introduction to the work "Dimension of Bliss: A Cross-Time and Space Dialogue between Quantum Physics and the Western Pure Land"
This book is the thought notes of an ordinary Pure Land practitioner, trying to build a bridge of dialogue between modern scientific discourse and ancient Buddhist wisdom.
The author uses sincere and plain writing to reflect the cutting-edge concepts of modern science such as quantum physics, multi-dimensional space, relativity, and holographic theory with the fundamental classics of the Pure Land such as the Infinite Life Sutra, the Contemplation of the Infinite Life Sutra, and the Amitabha Sutra. The whole book revolves around the core image of "dimension" - from the spatial dimension of the multi-dimensional universe, to the observational dimension of the quantum world, to the one-is-all of the holographic dharma world, the transformation of mind and reality into wisdom, and finally the ultimate switch to the pure land of rebirth. This is not an academic work that uses science to "prove" the Pure Land. It is an ordinary person who grew up in a rational era, trying to find a peaceful way of understanding between the Dharma he believes in and the science he knows.
The book has seven chapters in total. The writing style is deep and transparent. It contains both intellectual dialogue between science and Buddhism, as well as real insights in daily practice. It has both depth of thought and warm reading. It is suitable for readers who are interested in the intersection of science and faith, or who are seeking a broader understanding of the Pure Land method.
Purpose: Let the Pure Land faith survive, be established, and be trustworthy in the era of rationality.
