 WASHINGTON (AP) - Science and Buddhism share a quest of open investigation into the nature of reality, and science can be a pathway to discovering well-being and happiness, the Dalai Lama told the Society for Neuroscience on Saturday.
Tibet's spiritual leader, speaking alternately in English and through a translator, praised neuroscience — the study of the brain and nervous system — as important work he's been interested in for 15 years.
"I believe we want happiness," he said, adding that the way to transform society is through education and by boosting among individuals, families and communities "some of the useful emotions such as compassion or forgiveness."
