Comments on: Dalai Lama to host 5-day Mind and Life Science Dialogue in Dharamsala http://www.mindandlife.org/blog/2009/04/dalai-lama-to-host-5-day-mind-and-life-science-dialogue-in-dharamsala/ An outreach effort by The Mind and Life Institute to encourage discussion between modern science and Buddhism.

What I feel, the discussion was more about the Knowledge from books, but it was not the real or personal exeperience of Mr. Gethin. It would be more better if some one share what was his own exeperience about mindfullness or maniskara etc. other wise it is really not good but best effort to club the new and old sciences. The words of His holyness Dalai Lama " When you search for truth, then forget what You are.. other wise you will be biased" are really admirable... I would like to suggest to expand the area of research to other religions also.. because more we relate, more we learn and more truth we will aquire, although the whole truth will always be unreachable for mankind. As being a follower of Sikhism, I consider both science and religion are infect the different approachs to know the creator lord through his creations. As scripture of Sikhism says Creator is nothing but its Creation itself. So we all tends to know the Creator in fact. More we know more we will feel closer to Him... I wish for the further success of the intitute... May God bless them with fruits for thier efforts..

Besides I´d like to contribute with your organization anyway. I live in Argentina, 16 years in photojournalism, meditator, 41, male. I have verified the benefit of meditation, especially Qigong (Micro and macrocosmic orbit, Ba duan Jin, etc.) and I have been studying Traditional Chinese Medicine for 1 year. I am very move with your activity, thank you very much. Adrián I`d like to know if MLI have tried to be connected to Taoism to bear in mind the vast and profundity tradition it means.
