Buddhism

[Carriere:] Our elementary matter is immortal, but our mind and our consciousness very much seem to die when the brain stops. [Dalai Lama:] So, contemporary science appears to reverse the ancient data that judged matter to be perishable and the soul immortal? Yes indeed, speaking cautiously. While some scientists take a radical line here, others prefer to talk about their uncertainty and even their ignorance. To the question, What happens to the mind after death? They generally reply, we don't know.
