The Dalai Lama's Buddha Science

"Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible."

Do we already know who the next Dalai Lama will be? Anyone know how they’re chosen?

Bridging Two Disciplines: The Dalai Lama actively integrates Buddhism with modern science to explore the nature of reality and human consciousness. The Shared Search for Truth: Both systems rely on observation and reasoning rather than blind faith. While science predominantly maps the physical world, Buddhist traditions (particularly the Nalanda tradition) have spent centuries mapping the internal landscape of emotions and consciousness.

“Scientists have a special responsibility, a moral responsibility, in ensuring that science serves the interest of humanity in the best possible way.” — His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, from The Universe in a Single Atom

“I have argued the need for and possibility of a worldview grounded in science, yet one that does not deny the richness of human nature and the validity of modes of knowing other than the scientific.” — His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama

Can you be a Christian and a Buddhist too?

“We are all in this together. May each of us, as a member of the human family, respond to the moral obligation to make collaboration of science and spiritual possible. This is my heartfelt plea.” — His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, from The Universe in a Single Atom

“I wanted to understand science because it gave me a new area to explore in my personal quest to understand the nature of reality. I also wanted to learn about it because I recognized in it a compelling way to communicate insights gleaned from my own spiritual tradition.” — His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama

“Only the development of compassion and understanding for others can bring us the tranquility and happiness we all seek.” - Dalai Lama

How is the Dalai Lama chosen? I’ve never understood how it’s works!
