Mind and Life XIV — Dialogues on „The Universe in a Single Atom“ – Day 1 Morning Session
(Held at His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s Residence in Dharamsala, India)

Day 1 — April 9th, 2007
Part I: The Buddhism-Science Collaboration and the Limits of Scientific Knowledge: Exposing the Fracture Points. Dialogue Leader: Evan Thompson

Part II: Atomism, Emptiness, Interdependence and the Role of the Observer in Quantum Physics and Buddhism. Dialogue Leaders: Anton Zeilinger and Arthur Zajonc

In addition to being a scientific autobiography, the Dalai Lama’s book „The Universe in a Single Atom: the Convergence of Science and Spirituality“ highlights those issues he feels are most important in the „convergence of science and spirituality.“ These issues and questions form the focus of the Mind and Life XIV meeting, and become the foundation on which a group of scientists develop a deep dialogue with the Dalai Lama and other Buddhist scholar-practitioners.

The conference was organized by the Mind and Life Institute (www.mindandlife.org) and the Office of His Holiness the Dalai Lama (www.dalailama.com).

The photo was taken by me in the early eighties in Gaienhofen near the Bodensee. It’s the house where Hermann Hesse lived.

Hermann Hesse: Ich bin ein Stern am Firmament

Hermann Hesse: Ich bin ein Stern am Firmament

Ich bin ein Stern am Firmament,
Der die Welt betrachtet, die Welt verachtet,
Und in der eignen Glut verbrennt.

Ich bin das Meer, das nächtens stürmt,
Das klagende Meer, das opferschwer
Zu alten Sünden neue türmt.

Ich bin von Eurer Welt verbannt
Vom Stolz erzogen, vom Stolz belogen,
Ich bin der König ohne Land.

Ich bin die stumme Leidenschaft,
Im Haus ohne Herd, im Krieg ohne Schwert,
Und krank an meiner eigen Kraft.
Hermann Hesse

#translation:
I am a star in the firmament
That observes the world, despises the world
And burning in own embers.

I am the sea that storms at night,
The plaintive sea that lamenting the victims of serious new sins to the old towers.

I am exiled from your world
of pride polite, by pride defrauded,
I am the king without a crown.

I am the silent passion without words
In the house without a stove, in the war without a sword,
And sick of my own strength.
