Quantum Buddha

Quantum Buddha – Physics behind Buddhism

A contemporary view on the practice of Buddhism.

I know what the first thing on your mind is!!

Have science and religion changed places? Or is Science on the roads to discover the paths of wisdom of faith?

Ever since, I have taken up the faith in Buddhism, I have met many people with whom, I shared my experiences and learning so far. I know, I still have to trace my roots to the understanding on the subject of faith, but I can totally relate to all those who feel perplexed about the boundless benefits people get by chanting Nam Myoho Renge Kyo.

I decided to write this blog to share how I found my connection with Buddhism. Being from technical background the left side of brain always wanted a justification, a proof to approve of anything and Buddhism was no different.

I gave Buddhism a shot, only after, I read a lot from various sources on the power of positive thinking, affirmations, Law of attraction. The final conclusion was voicing a parallel between physics and teaching of Buddhism.

To start with, let’s go back to our school days when we were taught “The three laws of motion by Newton”. The third one and most remembered one: “Every action has equal and opposite reaction.”  The teachings of Buddhism are no different, the law of cause and effect states every thought in your mind, every word you speak and action you do in life creates a reaction which produces a new counter reaction leading to an endless chain of actions and reactions. These actions and reactions actually hold us in the good and bad karmas. This karmic cycle is a result in cosmic creation of life after life, making us determine to act in a certain way in order to fulfill the desires from the past life. By the means of reincarnation, we reap the results of the actions.

The learning gained under the apple tree made Newton introduce us with “The law of universal gravitation”, which states that every point mass in the universe attracts every other point mass. Did you notice that some of our real life experiences are influenced by our own thoughts, imaginations, beliefs and actions??? Yes, we attract these events also in our lives!!! 

Like law of gravitation the Law of attraction is also working at every moment without a fail. So, the next time you think negative about anything you know what you are attracting towards yourself. 

Buddhism teaches us to have dreams and belief in our prayers without doubts. The philosophy indicates that the mind of an ordinary person, which at each moment is endowed with the potential of three thousand realms; it is our strong ichinen that make any target attainable, no matter how lofty the target is. Our ichinen should be strong, as a strong ichinen had the following charterstics as:

(a) it pervades the entire universe;

(b) it includes both body and mind;

(c) it includes both self and environment;

(d) it gives rise to good and evil; and

(e) it encompasses cause and effect simultaneously.

So, if you want your wishes to manifest and you have a strong ichinen the entire universe will come together to make it true for you!! J

When we talk of law of attraction, we must see it in context of our prayers for someone who is not physically in our proximity. It is most often suggested to pray for others’ happiness to earn a good fortune. But most people think how will my prayers affect or bring about any change in someone else’s life. Let’s have a scientific reason support this. Various Physicists have proven that when two subatomic particles are brought together even once, they even instantly register the changes in another. And this is irrespective of the space they are in or how many miles separate them. The science of today thus seems to validate the Buddhist wisdom of then, that everybody and everything are on some level interconnected. This sets a relationship between the microcosm within a human being to macrocosm (our environment). What all we encounter in life is what attract.

When we have now talked about interaction of atoms and subatomic particles lets us talk about the energy of these atoms. Going back the classroom again, according to "law of conservation of energy", the energy can neither be created nor be destroyed; it can be transformed from one from to another. The psychodynamics of the mind as an electromagnetic structure establishes the nature and reality of consciousness as an interdimensional energy process. Our conscious and unconscious thoughts and beliefs have a wavelength of some amplitude (called the energy level) and frequency (occurrence). This is interesting to note that, it has been proven that when we think of doing something we have a frequency of these thoughts which is of exactly the same frequency when we are doing that something. Hence, when we think of winning a race, getting merit in exams or catching a train, we have the same frequency when we are actually running the race or writing and exam.

According to the principle of resonance, the resonating body induces the same resonance in a non-resonating body (remember the tuning fork experiment).Similarly, our thought at a frequency attract everything at that frequency. So if we think of happiness, you will attract happiness!!!

The energy of your thoughts attracts what you think of and biggest thing it works on your unconscious thoughts as well, so one needs cleanse one’s thoughts. Buddhism teaches us to do our human revolution and change ourselves from within to the ninth conscious. In this way by changing our microcosm we can change the macrocosm. 

Now going back to where I started from, how can chanting Nam Myoho Renge Kyo manifest our dreams. When we chant Nam myoho renge kyo, our thoughts resonates the environment at the positive frequency that the chant inherent. Hence, whatever you pray for, manifests, because you attract that by resonating the environment at the frequency of your thoughts.
