Dear friends,
We are preparing for the final day here today. Philosopher Shaun Gallagher will present on phenomenology and the study of the mind. Shaun is quite interested in incorporating the body, social others, and social contexts in our study of the mind. He will talk about how the orientation of the body, for instance, as lying or standing, can affect basic cognitive processes. In addition, the presence of social others and contexts is the crucible in which mind evolved. To the extend we want to fully understand the mind and the brain, one necessarily needs to take a social, contextual, and developmental view.
The weather seems most auspicious for the final day. After many storms, a beautiful full moon arose last night and the sun has come this morning! More later!

I very much appreciate being able to follow this important and exciting, even crucial, gathering as it unfolds. Thanks for putting together this blog.
Deepest thanks for the reports and images. I love the village of Dharamsala and miss circumnavigating McLeod Ganj, the small of incense, and the chatter of grateful pilgrims. Long live His Holiness.
How beautiful, I too am grateful for your efforts to share. It has made my week!

this conference has given me a feeling that tibetans who have looking for inside and westerners who have looking for outside. so maybe there will come a special way from this two views to transfer our world!!
