According to Dalai Lama, mind and matter are indivisible at the basic level, much like the dualism between particles and waves at quantum level. That should explain why karma transcends the physical world and no supreme being is required for karmic causality to be fulfilled.
Very interesting.
Yet His Holiness provides pretty much no more insights beyond that. Nevertheless, I admire his effort to promote science among Buddhists and vice versa. It's like proposing a unified theory reconciling science and religion, at least Buddhism. As a high monk or even, allegedly, a living saint, his open-mindedness is truly laudable.
On a separate note, for a high monk in Buddhism, His Holiness is a bit too insistent on politics, especially on the issue of Tibet's independence. Since there exist no permanent or distinct ego in anything, how could any Buddhist be so persistent on something being somebody's own? Borders may exist on maps, but not in the mind. It's like Mr. JC, able to walk on water, does trip over rocks from time to time.
