As far as Cosmology is concerned, ‘Big Bang theory’ is in keeping with Buddhist teaching where it is stated that there have been multiple Big Bangs; worlds appear and disappear. In Neurobiology, the Buddhist concepts of mind and thoughts have contributed to a better understanding. In Quantum Physics, the Buddhist concept of interdependency, nothing exists by itself, is well expressed. In Psychology, compared to Eastern and Buddhist Psychology, Western Psychology is like a kindergarten and Psychologists are keen to learn from Buddhist Psychology and adopt Buddhist practices like meditation in treatment.
