Description
This bood describes about the first transcriptipns of the Mind and Life Dialogue. The Dalai lama served as a touchstone for the recent scientific discoveries reported by the other participants.
Can the mind heal the body? The Buddhist tradition says yes – and now that many Western scientist are beginnings to agree, these discussions between His Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai Lama and a group of prominent physicians, psychologists, and meditation teachers could not be more timely. This book is a record of the Mind and Life Conference III, a meeting that gathered together a unique assortment of Buddhist teachers and Western scholars in an attempt to shed new light on the body-mind connection.
