"Science can give no
assurance herein. But Buddhism can meet the Atomic Challenge, because the supramundane
knowledge of Buddhism begins where science leaves off. And this is clear enough
to anyone who has made a study of Buddhism. For, through Buddhist Meditation,
the atomic constituents making up matter have been seen and felt, and the sorrow,
or unsatisfactoriness (or Dukkha), of their 'arising and passing away' (dependent
on causes) has made itself with what we call a 'soul' or 'atma' - the illusion
of Sakkayaditthi, as it is called in the Buddha's teaching."
