Dalai Lama Helps Scientists Understand Meditation's Affect on Health

The Dali Lama has a strong interest in science and has long supported researchers interested in studying the mind’s role in healing. This weekend he is at the University of Wisconsin-Madison for the opening of a new brain imaging and meditation lab.


The Dalai Lama joins neuroscientist Richard Davidson in a public dialogue on the intersection of science, meditation and health on Sunday, May 16, at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The event starts at 2:15 p.m. CST and will be webcast from the new Center for Investigating Healthy Minds on the Madison campus. (The video will be archived and viewable online after the event.)

The center will be the first translational research facility to include a brain imaging lab and meditation space under one roof. (MORE)
