Amazing! Buddha dhamma seems analogous to a huge circle. In a circle, if you start from a point in the circumference and follow all the connected points, you will eventually end up in the same point you started with. In the same way, when you start studying Dhamma with a concept and continue following the connected relevant concepts, it seems like this will eventually lead to the same concept which will clarify the bigger picture. It is crazy how self-consistent this is.

This is why I say that the Buddha was the greatest scientist who ever lived! Nowadays, people are fascinated with quantum mechanics, but the Buddha described the most fundamental quantum system (the mind) 2600 years ago.

This is utterly fascinating. I love Science but I have noticed that its biggest limitation is dealing with subjective experiences. Mental Phenomena are arguably the most complex things in the universe and while Science is still at an elementary stage, Buddha provided different layers of deep explanations regarding how the conscious experience arises. And to think that he had all this knowledge while sitting at the base of a fig tree 2600 years ago is insane. Damn what a chad Buddha was.
