About The Book
MindScience explores these and other questions as it documents the beginning of a historic dialogue between modern science and Buddhism. The Harvard Mind Science Symposium brought together the Dalai Lama and authorities from the fields of psychiatry, psychology, neuroscience, and education. Here, they examine myriad questions concerning the nature of the mind and its relationship to the body.

"A lively and interesting description of the dynamic interaction between Buddhism and mainstream science...full of pearls."
– Shambhala Sun
"Comprehensive. cuts right to the core issues of its compelling topic."
– The Quest
"Both sides have come together in a spirit of mutual respect."
– Parabola
"The Dalai Lama synthesizes scientific materialism and Western psychology with the ancient mind of the Buddha-without any apparent contradiction. Other notable scholars contribute to the discussion. MindScience captures the spirit of genuine inquiry and offers a glimpse of Buddhist psychology and its potential applications in the West today."
