  Physical phenomenon = Mental Phenomenon.
  色 （Physical）= 空 （Mental）， 空 （Mental）= 色 （Physical）。
  (Form = Formless), Formless = Form.
  
  Black Hole = Big Bang & Evolution = Physical.
  1-pointedness nimitta Jhana = Nirvana Fruition = Mental.
  
  Physical Universe phenomenon = Mental Jhana & Nirvana.

  Einstein on Buddhism
  
  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 and spritual; and it is based on a religious sense aspiring from the experience of all things, natural and spiritual, as a meaningful unity. -Albert Einstein
  
  If there is any religion that would cope with modern scientific needs it would be Buddhism. -Albert Einstein
  
  A human being is part of the whole, called by us 'Universe'; a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest--a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compasion to embrace all living creatures and the whole nature in its beauty. Nobody is able to achieve this completely but striving for such achievement is, in itself, a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner security.
  -Albert Einstein

  Albert Einstein last quote ----- is the characteristics of "No-Self", "Compassion", "Panna Wisdom" - the characteristics of Enlightenment.
  
  Where "No-Self" - is the hallmark of a "Saint".

  愿消三障诸烦恼，(By reducing and eradicating the 3 fetters of negative thoughts, negative speeches, negative actions - will reduce and remove the vexation of humans).
  
  愿得智慧真明了，(By reducing and eradicating the 3 fetters of vexation, Panna Wisdom arises - because of Clarity of Mind and Heart).
  
  普愿罪障悉消除，(With removal of 3 fetters of vexation - which give rise to Clarity of Mind and Heart, the negative karma will be reduced and eventually eradicated).
  
  世世常行菩萨道。 (With self-salvation, life after life, walk the Mahayana path of liberating others - until everyone - all 6 realms sentinent beings in this Universe are liberated).

  Look at the Dharma Wheel on the top left hand corner.
  
  Black Hole = core or hub of the Dharma Wheel.
  Big Bang & Evolution = spokes of the Dharma Wheel until it reaches the circumference of the Universe.

  (1) & Uncover the Mystery of the Formation of Universe and Lives in the Universe - Black Hole, Big Bang and Evolution of the Universe. (Physical) - pse see the Dharma Wheel on the top left corner.
  
  (2) & Uncover the Jhana Samadhi of 1-pointedness Concentration of Nimitta (similar to Black Hole), Nirvana 3 Ring (No-Self, Compassion, Panna Wisdom) Fruition (Mental - Supramundane Samadhi & Nirvana Fruition) - pse see the Dharma Wheel on the top left corner.

  Dharma Wheel - explain the Infinity of Universe......
  
  From 0 (Black Hole) to Big Bang - Infinity of Universe....
  And then collapse into (Black Hole) and then Big Bang again - to another infinity of Universe............
  
  Just like :-
  0, 0.1, ...................................... 0.9999999........ 1 (1st Infinity Universe).
  1, 1.1, ...................................... 1.9999999........ 2 (2nd Infinity Universe).
  .............................. 9999999999999999 ............ Infinity Universe.
  and back to 0.......
  
  Emptiness = 0. (Nirvana ------- Law of Permanence).
  
  Form = Infinite Universe (Samsara - Law of Impermanence - ever changing of infinity - our straying thoughts is synonymous to the Universe celestial bodies of infinity).

When Sun explodes and die - Earth dies.
When Universe collapse and dies - all 6 realms sentinent beings (which depends on a State of Existence) dies - except Nirvana.

Where Science uncover the mystery of the formation of the Universe - then Science = Religion.

Physics - explain Universe.
MetaPhysics - explain Nirvana.

12 dependant origination of life - is a full-circle that explain the human, albeit 6 realm sentinent beings - of birth, life, sickness, death and rebirth in the Universe - like the Dharma wheel - like the formation of Universe of birth from black hole, from big bang, from evolution to the Universe demise into black hole and rebirth again.

The Universal Dharma Wheel ....... 


Einstein discover Buddhism through Science - Law of Relativity.

"Buddhism is a cosmic religion for the future: it covers both the natural and spritual; and it is based on a religious sense aspiring from the experience of all things, natural and spiritual, as a meaningful unity

Physical phenomenon = Mental Phenomenon.
