Scientists and people who are educated in science refuse to accept this phenomenon. It is mainly be- cause they are familiar only with classical science, which cannot perceive a possible mechanism by which it can happen.
In this book Dr. Granville Dharmawardena, who is an eminent scientist referred to in the nuclear science text books in the United Kingdom and in the United States of America, had his education and training at the Cambridge University in the United Kingdom,
Harvard University in the United States, the Australian School of Nuclear Technology, Australia, and at the Atomic Energy Commission in France, and being most familiar with the views of the twentieth Century modern science, presents here a study he has made of rebirth.
Dr. Dharmawardena points out that the reason why classical science cannot explain rebirth is due to inherent limitations in classical science.
Modern science has transcended these limitations, and therefore rebirth is within the scope of modern science.
Modern science accepts rebirth as a scientifically acceptable phenomenon through the same tests used to prove scientific acceptability of generally accepted modern science phenomena.
Dr. Granville Dharmawardena point out that as science advances it gets closer and closer to reality, and this also brings science closer and closer to the Teach- ings of the Buddha.
Lastly I wish to tell you that I was blessed with the opportunity of writing the preface to this book, as Dr. Dharmawardena, a Sri Lankan scientist, was blessed with the wisdom to prove rebirth after 2,540 years although it was researched by eminent scientists throughout the world.
“Let’s build a world in which we live in harmony, without any calamities, by practicing the Teachings of the Buddha”.
