H.H. the Fourteenth Dalai Lama : Where Buddhism Meets Neuroscience Conversations

Where Buddhism Meets Neuroscience Conversations with the Dalai Lama on the Spiritual and Scientific Views of Our Minds By H.H. the Fourteenth Dalai Lama Edited by Zara Houshmand Edited by Robert B. Livingston Edited by B. Alan Wallace

Is the mind an ephemeral side effect of the brain’s physical processes? Are there forms of consciousness so subtle that science has not yet identified them? How does consciousness happen? Organized by the Mind and Life Institute, this discussion addresses some of the most troublesome questions that have driven a wedge between Western science and religion. Edited by Zara Houshmand, Robert B. Livingston, and B. Alan Wallace, Where Buddhism Meets Neuroscience is the culmination of meetings between the Dalai Lama and a group of eminent neuroscientists and psychiatrists. The Dalai Lama’s incisive, open-minded approach both challenges and offers inspiration to Western scientists.
