First of all, this sentence itself is wrong, because Einstein did not praise Buddhism on formal occasions. But why such messages are widely circulated is mainly because in 1954, Einstein published a book at Princeton University, in which he very formally mentioned that he was not a religious enthusiast. . But if he wanted to join a religion, he would choose Buddhism. This sentence was memorized by many interested people and publicized on various occasions. Einstein praised Buddhism very highly.

However, during the investigation later, it was discovered that Einstein did not do this. First of all, there was no mention in the book that Einstein wanted to join Buddhism, and Einstein at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem Inside the Stein Archives. It recorded all the important information about Einstein's life, but this sentence was not found, so some people discovered Einstein based on some fragmentary information. The most likely time he mentioned this sentence was in 1930. In an interview with the New York Times, Einstein said that if there is no dogma and worship of gods in a religion, then Buddhism may be the most suitable.

But this is just a hypothesis, and it does not indicate how much Einstein admired Buddhism. On the contrary, as a physicist, what Einstein advocated throughout his life may be to find the truth in nature. Even in the archives in Jerusalem, there is still a letter written by Einstein to readers, which mentioned some of his views on religion. He said that the religion you and I believe in is probably a lie. It's a lie that has been repeated for thousands of years. ? The God we believe in may be anthropomorphized. I want to express this clearly. If I really want to call it a religion, then science revealing the true structure of the world is what I aspire to. From here we can see that Einstein may have studied Buddhism for a period in his later years, but his understanding of Buddhism came from Schopenhauer's understanding, rather than his own in-depth understanding.
