Your Holiness,

MostVenerables, Venerables,

Excellencies,

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Buddhism and Science have increasingly been discussed as compatible and Buddhism has increasingly entered into the ongoing science and religion dialog. The case is made that the philosophic and psychological teachings within Buddhism share commonalities with modern scientific and philosophic thought, or at least, are less at odds with them. For example, Buddhism encourages the impartial investigation of Nature (an activity referred to as Dhamma-Vicaya in the Pali Canon) - the principal object of study being oneself.

With a special focus on the nature of mind and its implications for the concept of reality, Buddhism offers explanations for metaphysical issues within psychology and studies of consciousness. Some popular conceptions of Buddhism connect it to discourse regarding evolution, quantum theory, and cosmology, even though most scientists see a separation between the religious and metaphysical statements of Buddhism and the methodology of science. But, if we study very carefully the Buddha’s teachings, we could find a lot of elements which may complete many part of science.

Buddhist may give his own contribution on the well being of human kind in addition of what science already discovered. Science and Buddhism can work together by mutual synergy in order to limit all illegal human actions.In this connection, we suggest the following recommandations :

?The Buddhist monks and nuns must promote dissemination or teaching the Dhamma to all people to keep in mind of the Culture of Peace and remind the peaceful mission of science.

?All Buddhist stakeholders should control the negative effects of the exponential progress of Information technology as you see in Some negative website

?The Buddhist authorities can help people by educating them how to use the technology newly discovered by science according to the Buddha’s teachings.

?All Buddhist must remind to their national leaders, as soon as possible, the good use of all nuclear discovers in order to avoid military using.

?All Buddhist must work with scientist for promoting a humanist science and technology that support the social well being and preservation of the environment.

?And, finally, Buddhism and science can contribute together in order to educate people to aware and respect the human rights.

May all the human beings live in Peace and Serenity!

Thank you for your attention.
