Albert Einstein was not a Buddhist, these comments resonate with Buddhist insight.

[Cynthia S Churchward]

"A human being is part of a whole, called by us the 'universe', a part limited in time and space.

He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separate from the rest --

a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a
kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to
affectation for a few people near us. Our task must be to free
ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion, to
embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."



"Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one."



"Buddhism has the characteristics of what would be expected in the cosmic religion for the future:

It trancends a personal God, avoids dogma and theology; it covers both the natural and the spiritual,

and it is based on a religious sense aspiring from the experience of all things, natural and spiritual, as a meaningful unity."
