…in a cozy conference room in the middle of a pine forest right under the snow-capped mountains, the Dalai Lama and a select group of neuroscientists, philosophers from some of America’s leading universities and a bunch of dharma followers, including Hollywood star Richard Gere, were locked in intense discussion on the issue of self. For five days, they discussed the concepts of attention, memory and the phenomenological study of the mind as part of the Mind and Life Dialogue – an interface between Buddhist monks and neuroscientists to find cross-cultural ground between the two traditions.

I wasn’t aware that neuroscience was a tradition, but it’s a good article anyway.
