Can the mind heal the body? The Buddhist tradition says yes - and now many Western scientists are beginning to agree. These discussions between the d=Dalai Lama and this group of prominent physicians, psychologists, philosophers, and behaviorists shed new light on the mind-body connection. The book is a record of the third Mind and Life Conference, a meeting that took place in Dharamsala, India, gathering Buddhist teachers and Western scholars to discuss questions that provide a framework for an ongoing dialogue between psychology and Buddhism. edited with a new foreword by Pulitzer Prize nominee Daniel Goldman, this exploration of stress, death, meditation, self-compassion, and much more underscores the timeliness and significance of working together - across scientific and religious aisles - for the greater benefit of humankind.
