艾爾伯特 愛因斯坦的原文：
"The religion of the future will be a cosmic religion. Buddhism has the characteristics of what would be expected in a cosmic religion for the future: it transcends a personal God, avoids dogmas and theology ; it covers both the natural & spiritual, and it is based on a religious sense aspiring from the experience of all things, natural and spiritual, as a meaningful unity. Buddhism answers this description. If there is any religion that would cope with modern scientific needs, it would be Buddhism."
---Albert Einstein
本人的譯文：
“未來的宗教，將是一種宇宙的宗教。佛教，就具有未來宗教被期望擁有的特性：祂超越那位人的上帝，避免一切宗教教義和（基督教）神學；祂作為一個有意義的統一體，包容自然和精神兩個方麵，祂是建立在由對一切事物-自然的與精神的體驗升華而來的宗教意識之上的。佛教符合這一描述。如果有任何一種宗教可以應對現代科學的需要，那將是佛教。”
——艾爾伯特 愛因斯坦
