“If there's good, strong evidence from science that such and such is the case and this is contrary to Buddhism, then we will change.”
“Buddhism is all about science. If science is the systematic pursuit of the accurate knowledge of reality, then science is Buddhism, Buddhism is science.”
“The Dalai Lama once said that ‘If science proves some belief of Buddhism wrong, then Buddhism will have to change!’ This is a great thought! And great thoughts belong to great men only!”
“Start with the notion that yours is the sole responsibility unless there's powerful evidence to the contrary”
“People might think that five-year-olds can't be cruel, but I have some strong evidence to the contrary".”
“Science cuts two ways, of course; its products can be used for both good and evil. But there's no turning back from science.”
