My wife had saved these two insights from the Dalai Lama so I thought I would share them with you

First quote from Dalai Lama:

 Many people still consider science and religion to be in opposition. While I agree that certain religious concepts conflict with scientific facts and principles, I also feel that people from both worlds can have an intelligent discussion, one that has the power, ultimately, to generate a deeper understanding of challenges we face together in our interconnected world."

Second quote from Dalai Lama:

We can overcome our problems  by applying secular ethics based on common sense, common experience, and scientific findings.

Note these came from a daily calendar we had several years ago of quotes from the Dalai Lama.
