Mind and Life XVIII - Attention, Memory and Mind. Day 2 afternoon covers paying attention to awareness - "attention", "mindfulness" and "clear comprehension".
The discussions during Mind and Life XVIII primarily focus on the subjective phenomenology, information-processing operations, and neural mechanisms of attention, memory and conscious awareness from both scientific and Buddhist perspectives. The conference was held at His Holiness's residence in Dharamsala, India from May 6-10, 2010 and organized by the Mind and Life Institute. (more info at www.dalailama.com, mindandlife.org)
His Holiness is incredibly patient with the ignorant Western scientists. He reminds me of a well trained nanny easily handling unruly children. I wonder if he has to do more compassion meditations for the Chinese, or for the scientists.
My heartfelt thanks to HHDL.
