The correlations between theoretical quantum physics and Buddhist philosophy are amazing. This book is an in-depth examination of those which describe how time “passes” by replacing present moments. But you don’t have to read very much of the book to see that the author would oppose a description this simplified.

The book is not for everyone. It is probably only for serious students of Buddhist philosophy. The deep philosophical subject matter requires a scholarly level of text book like complexity. The writing style doesn’t help the readability either. But at least the metaphysical tone of the book does make the run on sentences and paragraphs seem a little less out of place.

Grupp is thorough and he never overstates his contentions.
