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.
I really hate when lovers of Buddhism argue they are not the same as Christians or Muslims. "Karma" is simply another argument for getting even. Concepts of heaven and hell, and vengeance, are no different.
In all of human history, good or bad, the truth is sometimes bad things happen to good people, and good things happen to bad people.
There is no difference in humanity, worldwide in our species history. If a story is told, it has been told before. The binary 0s and 1s only allow for diversity. But the flight ends for everyone, first class, business class or coach, Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist, Rasta, ect ect. No amount of arguing for a deity or a religion will change the fact all 7 billion of us only have one home to live on.
