What began as an ordinary Sunday transformed into a magical experience as I had the privilege to engage with His Holiness, the Dalai Lama. Our conversation revisited themes from His insightful work, "The Universe in an Atom," which explores the profound connection between science and spirituality.
As His Holiness wisely stated, "If scientific analysis were conclusively to demonstrate certain claims in Buddhism to be false, then we must accept the findings of science and abandon those claims."
Sera Jey Monastic Universtiy for Science & Monastery in Bylakuppe, Karnataka, Tibetan scholars and monks are pioneering this integration. Their curriculum uniquely blends neuroscience, biology, and physics with spiritual understanding, emphasizing that science is crucial in our quest to comprehend consciousness.
I extend my heartfelt congratulations to these dedicated individuals bridging science and spirituality for future generations.
As His Holiness said "The purpose of science is not to cure us of our sense of mystery and wonder, but to reinvent and renew it."
