Scientific Questions for Future Research on Compassion

by admin on February 11, 2011


October 15, 2010 – In the second of two afternoon sessions, His Holiness the Dalai Lama participates in panels regarding compassion, emotions, and action in the modern world. The panels includes Stanford faculty members as well as discussions about humanity in culture. In addition, the panel discusses how character and optimism play a role in the world’s future. This session and the morning one that preceded it was part of the 2010 visit to Stanford by His Holiness the Dalai Lama. His visit included this session as well as several other sessions where the Dalai Lama talked about compassion and religion in the modern world.

Thank You your Holiness for working so tirelessly for the promotion of preaching peace and compassion in this tumultous world. Other religious heads should engage themselves more actively in promoting peace, compassion and human brotherhood rather than promoting their own faith.

It’s good to have “your hairlessness” the dolly lemer here, so he can say a lot of NOTHING here! Talk about unscientific!! maybe if he would have spent eight years of his long life learning science he would understand as the majority of scientists do that religion is based on mythology!! Am I being rude here? Some would say no, but most would say yes(given that most Americans believe that a few mythical characters are real! o.o Oh well too bad! The truth can sting sometimes!!
