Just finished my Eastern Religions class today. I found it to be really interesting. I think it's very important to study different cultures and religions besides our own. We could all stand to learn from one another.
I am especially interested in the Dalai Lama. We watched a film about him and Tibetan Buddhism and he was so intriguing. Just the sheer fact that he is not even allowed back in Tibet, yet he still has hundreds of thousands of followers and devotees, means that he really must hold some sort of power or knowledge.
I found it so interesting that the Dalai Lama will often side with Science over religion because science is based in fact. Not that all religion must do this, but I believe it would be beneficial for all different groups to at least explore the possibility of different ideas. Maybe it would make us all a bit more tolerant.
