science & spirituality

I belive there is a genuine relation between modern science and internal spirituality .our bodies are the platform for all pleasure and pain at the sensory level. at the same time we have a sophisticated mind. which keeps track of things at the psychological level. between these two the experience of pain and pleasure ob the mental level is superior.one could be physically ill but still be mentally happy and content.in fact physical pain can be subdued by mental calm. (collected from the speech of dalai lama's inaugural adress at a coference on science&spirituality in india)
