Science Leadeship In India, Sager Leadership Institute 2011 HD

In 1999, the Dalai Lama announced a vision for the exiled Tibetan monastic community to engage science, and to initiate science trainings to support new learning at the frontiers of science and spirituality. Sponsored by the Sager Foundation, the Science for Monks program covers topics of common interest to both science and Buddhism - where both traditions provide provocative counter-points. Studying other philosophical traditions to deepen one's own insights has deep roots in Indian Buddhism. In 2000, the first annual 4-week long intensive Science Workshop was organized by the Tibetan Library for 50 Buddhist scholars representing all the major traditions within Tibetan Buddhism.
