(Continued from earlier post)...
Wonderful presentations with HH Dalai Lama in India by Chinese (Taiwan) scientists, and this dialogue day #3 is incredibly interesting, comprehensive and consciousness-raising, and folks around the world need to selflessly watch this, and *listen* to what Dr. Lee is saying here, about:
Global Warming...Warning
"What's the use of having developed a science well enough to make predictions if, in the end, all we're willing to do is stand around and wait for them to come true?" - Frank Sherwood Rowland
(Tell me about it!)
Dalai Lama: "Everything is interconnected."
Yes!
(These notes were taken while watching the dialogue/video, capturing the thoughts of HHDL and Dr. Lee. Wonderful diagrams and easy to understand presentation that helps regular folks *grasp* what is happening that is causing global warming. We are heating up our own planet to the point that it is becoming dangerous with worsening typhoons, fires, and other harsh consequences.)
Dalai Lama says right next to Delhi airport is a solar energy field, and they are considering banning privately owned vehicles because there is too much pollution. Education toward global mindfulness and away from self-centered attitude is needed.
Scientist asked Dalai Lama about "empty space" and this is where I have repeatedly said that the Universe is Translucent. Stillness/*stillness* (still, but still there, at the Core). Dalai Lama mentions subatomic particles being there, and also that scientists need to learn to appreciate the contribution of MIND.
Past Life Memory
Dalai Lama initiates this discussion relative to Core Emptiness, etc.., and says he, himself, had some past life memory as a small child. He mentions studies that show that children often do have past life memories but lose them as their brains develop more in this life.
But there is something different/more than that going on, and I will be addressing this here soon. (I have important notes to include here about the actual physics involved in children *remembering* past life, as I am one of them and I clearly see the physics involved. Scientist says findings in science always need to be able to be repeated by other scientists, other countries, and he doesn't see how past life experiences could be repeated to be confirmed in reality. I can provide that information when I address this situation here. Coming asap...)
Dalai Lama's response to that concern: All universal systems are connected, so there is that way for others to realize the truth of past life memory. Cumulative approach, as proof or evidence. In Buddhist cosmology, the physical elements of the person can be traced back to their origins, but there is no beginning. In other words, what the Dalai Lama is saying here is that there is a subtle level ("space particles") carrying information that can be realized as continuing. Humans' recognition of these space particles would cause the language and experiences on the surface of continuity of those space particles. A matter of critical reflection and thinking. Asian tradition fully utilizes intelligence.
(Paraphrasing Dalai Lama)
I will explain all this that the Dalai Lama is trying to say through his interpreter when I write more on this later, asap.
Funny Dalai Lama... The global warming scientist presenting said that it has been predicted that humans have about 80 years left if they keep going the way they are going, and Dalai Lama just said that by then he hopes he will be on another planet helping folks there, so it won't affect him by then. Hilarious man!
In summation (of this dialogue day 3 with Chinese scientists), HH Dalai Lama, answering the scientists' summation questions, is saying quantum physics would best be used to realize higher Conscious Awareness/Awakening.
Emphasis is on each individual doing their own work (journey of one toward Awareness of Universal Truth) and not blindly accepting what the Buddha taught, which is also what the Buddha always said was so important. Question "single-pointed faith," primarily a western situation, "not much concern with consequences." ("God will take care of it.")
Ending Chinese scientist statement: His mind has been opened quite a bit in his meeting with the Dalai Lama. Quantum physics investigation keeps getting smaller and smaller as they go along in their exploration. Classical physics is okay to describe grosser nature. Human body is bigger, classical, but every molecule is smaller, so quantum mechanics is needed. As "absent minded professors" (he and the other scientists there), they still need help in understanding. He is essentially showing his need for this site, which would answer the questions he has. (Professor Lee, I am coming for you! ;) ) Recently, artificial intelligence could not distinguish between 2 twins, but mother of the twins easily could, so science still has a lot more to learn about human ability.
TimeXSpace concept of Buddhist Science...Professor Lee said this time they learned a lot from the Dalai Lama and this 3 day dialogue.
Dalai Lama final summation: Hopefully their meeting to have dialogue will continue and that these 3 days of dialogue with Chinese scientists from Taiwan are only just the beginning. Hopefully eventually also professors/scientists from mainland China. Must exploit knowledge about mind, about emotion, mentioned in Buddhist tradition, really worthwhile, and that Buddhist monks in monasteries that do not study ancient realization must study and not just present themselves as Buddhist monks. Says present Taiwanese Chinese scientists are representing one billion others, and all present as well.
World is passing through some kind of crisis of emotion that will not go away by prayer, but by training our minds, as academic subject. - Dalai Lama (says this a lot in many dialogues with scientists from around the world).
Taiwanese scientists welcome HH Dalai Lama in Taiwan in return.
