Dalai Lama - re Buddhism Accepting of Scientific Findings

I came across a book review by Michael Shermer of The Skeptic about the Dalai Lama's recent book The Universe in a Single Atom.

In the book the Dalai Lama states:

My confidence in venturing into science lies in my basic belief that as in science so in Buddhism, understanding the nature of reality is pursued by means of critical investigation: if scientific analysis were conclusively to demonstrate certain claims in Buddhism to be false, then we must accept the findings of science and abandon those claims.

Now there is a belief system I can get behind! I have bought the book and perhaps my own review is forthcoming on this site.
