Accepting New Evidence

My confidence in venturing into science lies in my basic belief that as in science so in Buddhism, understanding the nature of reality is pursued by means of critical investigation: if scientific analysis were conclusively to demonstrate certain claims in Buddhism to be false, then we must accept the findings of science and abandon those claims.
14th Dalai Lama

False Revenge

“How can there be any legitimacy to his revenge when he drags people who aren’t involved into it?
“He’s only using a claim of being God’s agent to satisfy his lust for vengeance, and then acting like it’s all noble…Taking revenge won’t ever bring anything back!”
Full Metal Alchemist ep.15
