Dalai Lama, top scientists to discuss science & clinical applications of meditation

on and mental Health, and clinical research on meditation and physical health. Following the conference the Dalai Lama will participate in two other historic events in Washington, DC. First, he will address the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience, which expects 30,000 attendees on Saturday, November 12, from 4:15 PM - 5:15 PM in the Washington Convention Center, Hall D. SfN is the world's largest organization of scientists and physicians dedicated to understanding the brain and the nervous system. On Sunday, November 13, the Dalai Lama will also speak at the public Global Peace through Compassion event at 3:00 pm at the MCI Center. This public event is co-sponsored by the International Campaign for Tibet (ICT) and the Mind and Life Institute.

The first Mind & Life Conference took place in October 1987 in India and was followed by other private meetings in India and the United States that have made enormous contributions to the field of research about affects of meditation on mind and body. Dozens of books have been published as a result of these conferences. The Institute has been a driving force in the new and widespread acceptance of meditation in the West.

Adam Engle, Chairman and co-founder with the Dalai Lama of the Mind & Life Institute, said, "Various applications of meditation have already made their way into the mainstream of medicine and psychiatry in the treatment of stress, pain, and a large range of chronic diseases. The Mind and Life conference is an opportunity to review some of the recent work that has been unfolding in these areas, and to map out the potential for both broadening and deepening these investigations."

"The meeting will provide an opportunity for scientists whose research is focused on basic mind-brain-body interactions to learn more about meditation and to contribute to an ongoing dialogue about the mechanisms by which meditation may influence physical and mental health," Engle added.
