Their meeting captured headlines; the waiting list for tickets was
nearly 2000 names long. If you were unable to attend, this book
will take you there. Including both the papers given at the
conference, and the animated discussion and debate that followed,
"The Dalai Lama at MIT" reveals scientists and monks reaching
across a cultural divide, to share insights, studies, and enduring
questions.
Is there any substance to monks' claims that meditation can
provide astonishing memories for words and images? Is there any
neuroscientific evidence that meditation will help you pay
attention, think better, control and even eliminate negative
emotions? Are Buddhists right to make compassion a fundamental
human emotion, and Western scientists wrong to have neglected
it?
"The Dalai Lama at MIT" shows scientists finding startling
support for some Buddhist claims, Buddhists eager to participate in
neuroscientific experiments, as well as misunderstandings and
laughter. Those in white coats and those in orange robes agree that
joining forces could bring new light to the study of human
minds.
