Use of modern scientific knowledge to understand what happened during meditation, Pancha Abhinnas and some of the concepts described in Buddhism gave an tremendous impact to the acceptance of Buddhism as a world religion having practical applicability than any other religion. Development of several scientific methods and instruments such as computer generated methods on testing esp ability of individual persons, electroencephalographs (EEG) to record brain wave patterns, artificial stimuli given to certain sections of the brain that will regenerate some of above conditions and the Frequency Following Response (FFR) technique developed after studying the brain wave patterns under meditation to regenerate similar state of trance had lead to study the Buddhist meditation techniques and concepts like Pancha Abhinna by the scientists giving much recognition to the Buddhism and its application in daily life.

Sir,
How can you challenge other religions specially Christianity where
more than 2/3 of the world population have accepted and have faith in
almighty God.?Do you mean they are fools?

Please note belief js a relative point of start for any initiative for laymen who are brought up in a conventional way. Unless U are a person like Bertrand Russell .U have to be an open minded mind set to seek the real truth of anything without strings attached !!! Mind U most religions have been forcibly enforced on primitive humans Eg African continent. plese note that nothing is as powerful as FREEDOM Once U get it IT is a double edged sword. . Again a moderate, non violent people can understand These as we are living in a wicked world !!!
Dear sir,please let me know how can I participate your consulting service. Thank you.
There is growing evidence in science, espevially astro- physics that the universe is not an accident by by design…how does Buddhism see this. ? nias

“ The world. the world, so it is said Venerable Sir, But how far, Venerable Sir, does this world or the concept of world go”?
The Buddha gives the following answer:
“ Where there is the eye, Samiddhi, where there are forms, where there is eye consciousness, where there are things cognizable by eye- consciousness, there exists the world, or the concept of the world. “ A similar statement is made with regard to the other spheres of sense, including the mind. That, according to the Buddha, is where the world exists.http://www.dhammikaweb.com/?p=19402

Many hundreds of thousands of years there comes a time when it does not rain. When it does not rain, all seed and vegetation born plants such as medicinal grass, plants trees and forests dry up and wither and are no more. Bhikkhus, thus determinations are impermanent not stable, there is nothing to comfort in them.
Bhikkhus, after the lapse of many years, many hundreds of thousands of years there comes a time when a second sun rises. When a second sun rises whatever streams, rivulets dry up and wither and are no more. http://www.dhammikaweb.com/?p=18447
