Question for HH Dalai Lama: 

 

When His Holiness last visited UCSB in early June 1997, in his public lecture he made a comment to the effect that Buddhism, correctly understood, is not so much a religion as it is a science of the mind.  Could His Holiness explain more about this idea during his lecture at UCSB this time, with particular regard to how belief in the tenets of science influences its impact on society and the material world itself due perhaps to the power of the human mind being mis-applied absent moral standards in science which itself lacks faith in the absolute nature of truth and the absolute inviolability of the universal law depicted by the Na Mu Myo Ho Ren Ge Kyo? (feel free to rephrase the question)

 

Background information on this question:  I assisted HH Dalai Lama’s science advisor the late Dr. Robert Livingston by convening a briefing for him at UCSB in the days before HH last visit to campus in 1997, where scientists involved in the development of “zero point energy technologies” to replace nuclear and fossil fuel power discussed their research with Dr. Livingston and Buddhist monk Yusen Yamato and several traditional American indigenous leaders regarding how these new energy technologies appear to manifest energy from “the void” or “the emptiness” of Buddhist teachings, the Mu of the Na Mu Myo Ho Ren Ge Kyo, apparently via some overlooked and unconscious interaction of the mind with physical reality akin to humans “unconsciously believing in science like a religion” which actually empowers/manifests these results. Because the knowledge involved with these new energy technologies has advanced weapons applications, these peaceful energy applications have been suppressed for over a hundred years since the time of Nikola Tesla so I have concluded after 30 years of activism that we cannot have these new energy technologies except as a consequence of world peace and the removal of the need for weapons of war.  http://www.newenergymovement.org – www.projectearth.com
