How Meditation Shapes Our Brain and Helps Us Deal With Negative Emotions - An Interview with Geshe Tenzin Namdak
"If we grasp at a problem, it only becomes more intense. We all have problems, but a lot of mental suffering can be prevented by using particular meditation techniques." - Geshe Tenzin Namdak
In this first 'Meet the Speaker' Interview, Scott Snibbe and Geshe Tenzin Namdak discuss how meditation shapes our brain through neuroplasticity, helping us deal with negative emotions.
They also explore the common ground between quantum physics and Buddhist philosophy and mind-science, referring to Bohm's theory of implicate and explicate order and the Buddhist view of ultimate reality. Finally, they discuss how the dialogue between science and contemplative traditions can help us address the great challenges of our society.
