"The religion of the future will be a cosmic religion. "Buddhism has the characteristics of what would be expected in a cosmic religion for the future: it transcends a personal God, avoids dogmas and theology; it covers both the natural & spiritual, and it is based on a religious sense aspiring from the experience of all things, natural and spiritual, as a meaningful unity. Buddhism answers this description. If there is any religion that would cope with modern scientific needs, it would be Buddhism."
- Albert Einstein[1954, from Albert Einstein:The Human Side, edited by Helen Dukas and Banesh Hoffman, Princeton University Press]
考据材料 《Albert Einstein: The Human Side》 这本书实际是 1981年出的 海伦·杜卡斯 著 我找来的是 1984年世界知识出版社翻译出版的《爱因斯坦谈人生》,还好这本书不厚,在反复找了两遍后,发现没有上面的这段话。又《爱因斯坦文集》商务印书馆 1976年版三卷,也查了一遍没有发现这段话。。。。。。
基本上可以断定这句话是伪造,不是爱因斯坦说的了。
新证据
"However, we must remember that this was not WRITTEN by Einstein and only attributed to him by a biographer."
Hope this will help anyway, here i copied her answer:
"Buddhism has the characteristics of what would be expected in a cosmic religion for the future: it transcends a personal God, avoids dogmas and theology; it covers both the natural & spiritual, and it is based on a religious sense aspiring from the experience of all things, natural and spiritual, as a meaningful unity"
非常遗憾,那不是爱因斯坦说的话,只是帮他写传记的女作者写的话
Helen Dukas说的话所以,不要到处去说爱因斯坦也是佛教徒,那会让我觉得恶心的
