Buddhism; in the eyes of intellectuals

The Buddha's Greatness

I cannot myself feel that either in the matter of wisdom or in the matter of virtue Christ stands quite as high as some other people known to history- I think I should put Buddhism above him in those respects.

                               Bertrand Russell,'Why I am not a Christian'

Buddha's Method

If any question has to be considered, it has to be considered peacefully and democratically in the way taught by the Buddha.
                                                                                       Neru

A cosmic religion

The religion of the future will be a cosmic religion. It should transcend a personal God and avoid dogmas and theology. Covering both the natural and the spiritual, It should be based on a religious sense arising from the experience of all things, natural and spiritual, as a meaningful unity. Buddhism answers this descriptions.
                                                                              -Albert Einstein

Persecution

Of the great religions of history, I prefer Buddhism, especially in its earliest forms, because it has had the smallest element of persecution.
                                                                              -Bertrand Russel

Human destiny

Over great areas of the world it still survives. It is possible that in contact with Western science and inspired by the spirit of history, the original teaching of Gotama, revived and purified, may yet play a large part in the direction of human destiny.

                                                                               -H.G Wells

Buddhism and Modern Science

' I have often said, and I shall say again and again, that between Buddhism and modern Science there exists a close intellectual bond.'

                                                                               -Sir Edwin Arnold

Buddhism copes with Science

If there is any religion that would cope with modern scientific needs it would be Buddhism.

                                                                              -Albert Einstein
