“But the deeper, deeper, real controller of the brain is the mind.”~Dali Lama

The Wall Street Journal interviews the Dali Lama about meditation and science.

The Wall Street Journal: If science can prove the benefits of meditation on the brain, how would this advance our society?

All Eastern philosophies point out the fact that we do not experience the environment itself but rather a projection of it.

Buddha said, “With our thoughts we create the world”.

The University of Bordeaus did a study of how the brain sees and not the eyes. They dropped odorless and tasteless red dye into white wines, then gave it to 54 wine tasting professionals. With only the color of the wine altered, not one of the professionals could tell the difference, they all believed the wine to be red.

The idea of meditation is to become aware of how are thoughts and feelings affect our lives.

There’s a big scientific problem in Neuroscience that is harder to figure out then Einstein’s theory of relativity. The problem is, “What makes us conscious?”

Scientist have looked into every area of the brain, they know all about the different parts of it. But they cant seem to find the power source.

The person who puts out a scientific model that can explain the energetic system of the body will one day win a noble prize.
