The record of an extraordinary encounter between the Dalai Lama and Buddhist teachers and Western psychologists, physicians and scientists on the mind's uncanny ability to heal the body.
Can the mind heal the body? The Buddhist tradition says yes - and now that many western scientists are beginning to agree, these discussions could not be more timely. The contributions include: Medicine and Compassion by the Dalai Lama; Mindfulness as Medicine by Sharon Salzberg and Jon Kabat-Zinn; Afflictive and Nourishing Emotions and their Impact on Health by Daniel Goleman; the Body`s Self by Francisco Varela; and various discussions on the mind, the brain and emotions, the biological foundations, ethics and behavioural medicine, stress and trauma and its effect on the body, the subtleties of consciousness, and emotion in culture - the roots of low self-esteem and the differences between the East and the West.
