I'm 20 and I have been interested in science, technology, and spirituality for as long as I can remember. I've seen a lot of life and a lot of death in my years of wandering in the West. I guess that's why this book resonated with me.
To me, Buddhist thought just makes logical and intuitive sense with everything I have studied about astronomy, physics, biology, and chemistry. It just feels natural and has no arrogance about it, just a gentle affirmation of life and love. It also shows the darkness inside us and how to conquer it with mental force, not physical force.
Buddhanature, from my experience, is about fully embracing life and transforming your suffering into potential. And the most practical way to achieve this goal is to have a clear vision of reality, live in accordance with natural principles, and keep developing your mental capabilities.
I fully agree that Buddhism is not about anything mystical and that people overthink and project a lot of madness into it. The only thing people can do is keep striving, there is no higher goal than enlightenment.
