I will not to talk more on the topic that Buddhism is science,this had been admitted even by the scientist,such as famous scientist Einstein once said:if there may be a religion which can meet modern science’s requirements and also may exsit with scientist together,it must be Buddhism”also as Dr Shen Jia Zhen said I am a scientist ,but I am very intrested on Buddhism,I think Buddhism and science exsited with each other.

However,Buddhism is not only science but more than science.

Since Sakyamuni awakened the way under the tree of Buddha,he got the truth of the universe and life,knowing well to the truth of the universe.He can know people’s past and future clearly,this was named absolutely reality,it beyond all the language and logic. Meanings can not be expressed by language and by thinking.It was well knowed in Buddhism.Buddha is a sophist,Buddha,and know all about the life in the universe.and nobody or other ninty-six religions cann’t compare,this had been completely beyond people’s thinking and sense.and now technology can’t achieve.Meanwhile science is a unclear matter as well as the problem that when some Buddhist were been fired after death there may be found Buddha’s relics,some Buddhist may be welcomed with light by Buddha after died.lucky phenomenon,physci power,and meditation and so on.these were never be answered,if science want to research these problems and there is no idea that how many years shall we get the answer.,or it’s a problem that whether science can make it clear or not.The science group even can’t realize that Buddhist theory had been beyond all the languages and logic.the reasons were that science must take equipment and sense organ,its development and research may also limited in knowing appearance,namely it can just use phenomena to explain phenomena,can not do research into the essence,and have no idea on knowing absolutely reality of “Yuan Qi Wu Zi Xing”,just do research by using man’s sense organ,this as if the smoke moving up from the fire,and being more and more far away from the fire and finally disappeared.it does not know the essece of things.So scientist Qian Xue Seng said,once we just know to research the matters outside of our bodies,and never do research on the inner construction of our bodies,actually our inner body is a top science,we can’t deny the exsistence of soul. the greatest scientist Eistain said: without science,religion is just like a lame man,and if there is no religion,science is even like a blind man .Our forthrunner of revolutionary Sun Zhong Shan had also said,Buddhism is monther of philosophy,do research on Buddhism can make up the shortage of science and law.Consequently,Buddhism has feature of science,but more than science,it includes more subjects than science such asphilosophy,education,nedicine,art,construction，literature，and language，it had completely beyond the sense of science.

At last ,though we know that Buddhism is science and more than science,we should take a right attitude on science.First,as our Buddhist don’t refuse science,or oppose science,if so ,it’s a wrong idea.Here it remind me of that in 1998,we escort Buddha’s tooth from Buddhist Collegue of Xixia Mountain in Nanjing to Burma,A major interpreter always told us,as their country were out of time,they blamed the Buddhist elder for refusing to introduce a technology of producing glass from France into Burma ,but when they were having a test at the side of a river,it blasted many small fishes,so the Buddhist persuade their country not introducing the technology due to it killed so many lives.and this made their country fall behind other counties hundreds of years.What a lost did it bring to their country.so no matter what it is or it was made by man,the key point is how we make use of it.Second,we should take a right attitude to treat science and Buddhism,Buddhism is science,but not all the science is Buddhism,Buddhism had got the truth of the universe after Sakyamuni got and proved the truth.But science is still developing by groping the ways,and some new theories cancel the old ones.and future ones cancel existing ones.However Buddhism theory never be changed since ages of Buddha for 2500 years ,nobody can cancel it,today it will not be changed and future won’t either,Consequently if there is a conflict between Buddhism and science,we should follow Buddhism’s theory.Third,as a Buddhist,we should be responsible for bringing benefit to our human beings by making good use of science,we are responsible for persuading country ,experts and people not to use science to hurt human beings.Now science had brought us so many bad effects,we should give it a right direction of guiding.In a word ,we should make good use of science to benefit society and human beings,refuse the bad effect,that’s to say,we should make science as our arms to make our Buddhism better，aslo use it to kill bogey and belial.in order to make our earth to a pure land as early as we can.
