Do you still think we’re the only ones in the universe? Most people who oppose this phenomenon due to religious beliefs have never had to deal with it before.
A religious leader recently spoke openly about life in the universe and the existence of alien life forms comparable to us.
This time, the Dalai Lama addressed the topic at the University of Portland (Oregon) during a meeting entitled “Universal Responsibility and the Internal Environment”. At the same time, journalist Stephen Cook publishes an article entitled “The Dalai Lama Reveals That Visitors From Other Galaxies Are Just Like Us.”
The Dalai Lama set an example for the public. How would we see beings from distant worlds if we encountered them? We would be terrified of diversity. We would be scared and rejected because of their quirks. The Dalai Lama, on the other hand, stated that we should embrace them and treat them as equals.
This is not the first time that Buddhism’s highest representative has spoken on these issues; in fact, Professor John Mack had the opportunity to talk to him about this event in 2000.
