Attention, self-consciousness, insight, wisdom, emotional maturity:
how Zen teachings can illuminate the way our brains function and
vice-versa. When neurology researcher James Austin began Zen
training, he found that his medical education was inadequate.
During the past three decades, he has been at the cutting edge of
both Zen and neuroscience, constantly discovering new examples of
how these two large fields each illuminate the other. Now, in
Selfless Insight, Austin arrives at a fresh synthesis, one that
invokes the latest brain research to explain the basis for
meditative states and clarifies what Zen awakening implies for our
understanding of consciousness. Austin, author of the widely read
Zen and the Brain, reminds us why Zen meditation is not only
mindfully attentive but evolves to become increasingly selfless and
intuitive. Meditators are gradually learning how to replace
over-emotionality with calm, clear objective comprehension. In this
new book, Austin discusses how meditation trains our attention,
reprogramming it toward subtle forms of awareness that are more
openly mindful. He explains how our maladaptive notions of self are
rooted in interactive brain functions. And he describes how, after
the extraordinary, deep states of kensho-satori strike off the
roots of the self, a flash of transforming insight-wisdom leads
toward ways of living more harmoniously and selflessly. Selfless
Insight is the capstone to Austin's journey both as a creative
neuroscientist and as a Zen practitioner. His quest has spanned an
era of unprecedented progress in brain research and has helped
define the exciting new field of contemplative neuroscience.
