The Monk and the Philosopher

"My scientific career was the result of a passion for discovery ... In short, science, however interesting, wasn't enough to give meaning to my life. I came to see research, as I experienced it myself, as an endless dispersion into detail, and dedicating my whole life to it was something I could no longer envisage"

Those were the first words from Matthieu Ricard that catch my attention. Finally I found an outstanding book from a scientist explaining Buddhism. This man, for all of you who doesn't know him, was a great biologist who suddenly decided to quit his scientific career to become a Buddhist monk.
