Oh, that is funny, I like it notwithstanding, that from a Buddhist background, it is a quite fancy thing to waste some much time and energy for such a project, like proofing the impossibility of a³+b³ =c³ and so on. But that’s how people are and the book is so well written that one is believing almost to understand the math on which the proof is based on.

Just to mention it, Buddhist see no use in understanding the universe as long one is not understanding himself. But the article is about math as a universal language, it is great that we found something we can’t (math) argue about, because there is only a right perception and nothing else. Many people live like there are multiple truths — beside there own — just like everybody, can have his own truth, and they make out of it, that nothing really matters. They don’t have to take life serious. But there are more truths out there, physics of course and what seems dogmatic, but is not, but Buddhism has universal truths too. One is: “Attachments are leading to sufferings”.

Buddhism is just a label we are attaching to this universal law, so we can speak about it. Maybe we should call it: “Attachment-is-suffering law”, so people are not driven away by the term Buddhism. Just a idea! That law is the same on the other side of the milky way, could not be different.

I think there are a lot more laws like that, people just don’t care about it, so they don’t have to draw consequences for there lives and start to act differently.

Karma is a burning rosette, because of too much Sambal Oelek. I like topics about meditation, zen, psychology, politics and art. Special interest Krishnamurti.
