Dalai Lama in Japan

By Contact Staff /  November 5, 2012;

On the third day of His Holiness’ trip to Japan he engaged in serious discussions with scientists. “The last three or four thousand years,” His Holiness pointed out, “people, when they faced a problem, were always praying to God, or to some mysterious force. But in the last 200 years, they’ve been looking to science and technology. And technology immediately gives us what we want. But now we are facing really deep problems, and they can’t be solved through technology alone. The time has come: we must make more effort to make advances in human compassion—and to pursue a secular ethics based on scientific findings.”
