    Not one of his best talks. He really thinks meditation will answer almost everything about the universe.

    I watched it too and didn't get the idea he thinks meditation solves all questions about the universe. It does however solve questions about the mind/existence.

    Thanks for posting.

    Since you watched it I have one for you. He said that one proof for rebirth was why would life appear in a singularity. If there is one life then why wouldn't there be a second and a third, etc.

    This was really faulty logic to me as there isn't one life there are billions and billions, trillions even, of lives here on earth alone. Its poor reasoning, and I've found him to be guilty of it in other talks as well.
