Of all the religious leaders in the world, my sense is that the Dalai Lama is most open to modern science. While I detest some of the new age fluff out there like the movies "what the bleep do we know" and "the secret" since they are mostly pseudoscience, I think the Dalai Lama has a very high regard for science to the point that he has said if science could disprove reincarnation or other tenets of Tibetan Buddhism, then they would have to accept that.

Nophoto-u-25x33 I think you're talking about the movie "What the bleep do we know?" I agree that movie was total new age nonsense masquerading as science. About this book though, I think the Dalai Lama does actually have a healthy respect and appreciation for science.
