"The Dharma in DNA has three objectives: 1) to share the rich but underappreciated history of biology-Buddhism intersections and surprising harmonies between the two traditions, 2) to evaluate Buddhist teachings from a scientific perspective using DNA as the focus of study, and 3) to propose a new approach to science, Bodhi Science, as an ethical and operational framework for conducting Buddhist wisdom-guided science and preventing pseudoscience. An interwoven side project examines the life journey of the author, a professor of genetics and father in a transracial adoptive family, who questions the apparent paradox of his fascination with DNA in the lab but disinterest in passing on his own DNA. Early book chapters present the core teachings and diversifications of Buddhism over the last twenty-five centuries. Subsequent chapters share stories of biology-Buddhism interactions, situated in the colonial contexts; examples derive from early 20th century Sri Lanka and Japan, and contemporary activities of the Dalai Lama and Western biological scholars. The hypothesis-guided analysis of Buddhist principles and DNA then begins, touring through classical genetic research alongside modern post-genomic insights. The investigation reveals strong support for three core Buddhist concepts - anitya (impermanence), anatman (non-self), and pratitysamutpada (mutual cause-and-effect) - as applied to DNA. Bodhi Science is proposed as a new mode of scientific inquiry rooted in Buddhist teachings. The approach is based on four qualities: selflessness, detachment, awareness, and compassion. Bodhi Science provides a path to strong science rooted in logic-based Buddhist ethics, and helps scientists avoid the deceptive and damaging waters of pseudoscience"--

The Dharma in DNA has three objectives: (1) to share the rich but underappreciated history of biology–Buddhism intersections and surprising harmonies between the two traditions, (2) to evaluate Buddhist teachings from a scientific perspective using DNA as the focus of study, and (3) to propose a new approach to science, Bodhi science, as an ethical and operational framework for conducting Buddhist wisdom–guided science and preventing pseudoscience. An interwoven side project examines the life journey of the author, a professor of genetics and father in a transracial adoptive family, who questions the apparent paradox of his fascination with DNA in the lab but disinterest in passing on his own DNA.

The hypothesis-guided analysis of Buddhist principles and DNA then begins, touring through classical genetic research alongside modern postgenomic insights. The investigation reveals strong support for three core Buddhist concepts—anitya (impermanence), anatman (non-self), and pratitysamutpada (mutual cause and effect)—as applied to DNA. Bodhi science is proposed as a new mode of scientific inquiry rooted in Buddhist teachings. The approach is based on four qualities: selflessness, detachment, awareness, and compassion.

At the age of twelve, I took the vows of a novice under Venerable Master Sheng Yen at the Chung-Hwa Institute of Buddhist Culture in Beitou, Taipei. Thus, I became his disciple, and he became my “shifu,” my teacher. When Shifu was in solitary retreat in Meinong, in Gaoxiong County, Taiwan, and later studying for his doctorate in Japan, I lived and studied with Grandmaster Dongchu. Dongchu was at one time abbot of the large Dinghui Monastery of Jiaoshan in Jiangsu province, China. Originally called Puji Monastery, Dinghui was established in the second century during the Eastern Han Dynasty. Even while he was at Dinghui, Dongchu was renowned for his imposing demeanor. Master Sheng Yen recalled his encounter with Grandmaster in Shanghai: “When he walked, it was as if a powerful wind blew in his wake.” No novice monk dared to engage him in conversation; he often reprimanded his students loudly, earning him the nickname of “Dong Dapao,” or “Big Cannon Dong.” However, due to the turmoil of the civil war, Dongchu left for Taiwan in 1949, and took residence at Fazang Monastery in Beitou, where he be gan publishing Humanity Magazine. In 1955, he established the Chung-Hwa Institute of Buddhist Culture, where he promoted and organized the reprinting of the Taisho Tripitaka, conducted wintertime relief charity services for the poor, and spread Buddhist culture and education to benefit sentient beings.

Like the Ganga emerging from the Himalayas Gomukh, crossing the limitless rocky barriers on the way, is destined to merge in ocean, similarly fighting out obstacles in flow of life man's destiny is to merge in Bhagwan (God), the Creator-Scientist of Creation. Just as each drop of water forms a stream of Ganga, similarly, the collective thoughts of people living in a land is the national ideology of that society. The positive side of our national pride and self-respect is that even during the eight century long subjugation, the eternal culture of the Vedic period remained intact. But from the eleventh century Bharat's politics derailed due to success of foreign invaders, and is now entangled in European ideas of capitalism and communism after independence. The book ‘DNA of Bharat: The World Guru' contains a vivid, simple and easy depiction of the native people of country and their national thoughts. Which are a result of author's holistic view of his political Dharmik and social doings.

I am on a mission to explain to the world the real fact that the human brain is NOT his mind, rather his seed's DNA is his mind (more specifically, the blue strand of the DNA spiral). Human brain is merely an evolved form of rRNA of the zygote, which processes the mRNA and tRNA wirelessly. Like the CPU of the computer, brain is a non-codon processing organ, which processes the genetic codes of the seed's DNA (mind) through a wireless nerve system called "Sushumna-Ada-Pingla". To know the wireless processing of the seed genetics in the brain, read this book. Unless seeds are saved, brain cannot produce any significant outcome. If the seeds are saved, then all the thoughts of the seed's mind come true naturally. Understand, follow and share Save-Seed awareness to make the world a heaven.

There is no need to renounce the practical life to do solitary retreat or seek a pure land elsewhere, nor is there any need to indulge in your short-lived physical body, or get empowerment from other people. You may live out a brilliant life with great freedom and ease right in the practical environment and right in the phenomena of your body and mind here and now. In reality, every single moment of your life is an irreplaceable wonder and perfection!
