艾尔伯特 爱因斯坦的原文：
"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
本人的译文：
“未来的宗教，将是一种宇宙的宗教。佛教，就具有未来宗教被期望拥有的特性：祂超越那位人的上帝，避免一切宗教教义和（基督教）神学；祂作为一个有意义的统一体，包容自然和精神两个方面，祂是建立在由对一切事物-自然的与精神的体验升华而来的宗教意识之上的。佛教符合这一描述。如果有任何一种宗教可以应对现代科学的需要，那将是佛教。”
——艾尔伯特 爱因斯坦
