Yet Dalai Lama nevertheless accepts at least two supernatural claims, reincarnation and the "law of karma," and (in the same book where that quote is from, "The Universe in a Single Atom") he criticizes the theory of evolution along creationist lines, arguing that mutations aren’t random and that the notion of "survival of the fittest" is a tautology (it isn’t). So, like with all faiths, Buddhism literalism about some beliefs makes it incompatible with science.
It looks like the Dalai Lama chose his words carefully, though. Neither karma nor reincarnation can be proven wrong by science.
As for saying that mutations aren't random... he's going off the rails there.
