| Introduction | Who am I? I am not a scholar of the Dhamma, supported with any acquired qualifications. I do not have a track record of following meditation retreats to claim to have any experiential knowledge of the Dhamma. My civil engineering background and postgraduate training and professional practice has given me some ability to grasp and present essential aspects in a subject that is under consideration. This background makes me ask - how, and why etc. - about anything, before I am prepared to accept it. This background has also inspired me to ask how realistic this teaching is, which has remained unchanged for over 2600 years. Our tendency to accept anything that is established scientifically seemed flawed for me as I find that most scientific postulations change with advancement of knowledge. Science is still developing and is some way from catching up with Buddha Dhamma, which I find deals with the abiding laws and principals that govern the dynamics of the Cosmos. This is the reality which modern science is committing billions of dollars in research to find out. If you are like me you should be comfortable staying with me in this Blog as we can be talking on the same wavelength. |
