I met Buddhism through science and what is curious is that scientists have taken Buddhism as an insightfull way to explain the nature of reality and nothing more far from that. What was my surprise that when the Four Noble Truths were understood and realized, those, as the core teaching, have nothing to do with "the nature of reality" at least in the way science and philosophy are used to understand whatever is meant by that; because at some level the experience of the essence of reality is given and approached by its unsatisfactoriness.
