The Buddhism-Science Collaboration and the Limits of Scientific Knowledge: Exposing the Fracture Points.
\\nDialogue leader: Evan Thompson
In addition to being a scientific autobiography, the Dalai Lama’s book The Universe in a Single Atom: the Convergence of Science and Spirituality highlights those issues he feels are most important in the “convergence of science and spirituality.” These issues and questions form the focus of the Mind and Life XIV meeting, and become the foundation on which a group of scientists develop a deep dialogue with the Dalai Lama and other Buddhist scholar-practitioners.
