Any philosophy that sets itself in opposition to science inevitably becomes a purveyor of lies. But any true lover of science knows that each truth uncovered only widens the chasm of unknowing yet to be explored. I'd never heard that statement from the Dalai Lama. I think it's a testament to the dignity of his own spirituality that he does not feel threatened by science. As a seeker of truth, he is in league with scientists, not in opposition to them.
