This new book presents a groundbreaking dialogue that took place in 2005 between His Holiness the Dalai Lama and leading researchers and teachers from both Eastern and Western traditions. The event was sponsored by the Mind & Life Institute, a Colorado-based nonprofit that studies the intersection of science and meditation; this was its second such public meeting following a similar 2003 gathering at MIT. The excerpt below comes from the book’s Epilogue, which summarizes in scholarly fashion various clinical and basic studies on meditation published between 2006 and 2011.
