Mind and Life XIV -- Day 2 pm - with the Dalai Lama

[Neroscot]

Dalai Lama a "survivor "...affection, compassion, peace... a very good man, special...!

[KevinSolway]

Buddhists have contributed virtually nothing to science throughout history, so it's ironic to expect them to contribute something now.

[mathias138]

@KevinSolway they can contribute ethics and morale. a buddist scientist would never build an a-bomb.

and taroon588: don't be stupid, the Dalai Lama wanted discussions with scientists. and that is what he got.

@mathias138 "a buddist scientist would never build an a-bomb"

Too bad if we needed one to defend ourselves from an alien invasion.

[mathias138]

@KevinSolway HAHAHA, you think A-bombs would save us if aliens decided to invade our planet? If aliens ever would invade; I guarantee that they are gonna be so far beyond our technology and our only chanse would be stealing.

@KevinSolway

You sound like very ignorant. Buddhism have flourshed more then 2500 hundreds years ago. Who knows how many of past and present schientist are directly and indirectly contributed by Buddhism to develope their research and and findings. Of course everything depends on what you believe and value. If you just believe in money and power and violent there is nothing to look into buddhism. study first and then talk

[kasuskasus]
