5.0 out of 5 stars Neuroscience revisited, 27 Jun 2002
By Marcus Federsel (Pyrbaum) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This volume contains the documentation of dialogues between Mindscience and the Dalai Lama covering the following themes: What's behind the "I" ?, What happens, if the brain sleeps?, Dreams and the unconsiousness, Lucid dreaming, Death and Christianity, How does the body die ?, Near-death experiences.

To my best knowledge His Holiness the Dalai Lama is the only religious leader who seeks a true and productive dialogue with the sciences. That leads to statements like (analogous): "If sciences prove teaching of the Buddha wrong, Buddhism will have to change."

Who really wants to broaden his/her mind in the true sense of the word should be reading this book - over and over again....

5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating, multidisciplinary exploration of consciousness, 5 Jun 1997
By A Customer
This book presents notes from a summit of several top thinkers in the fields of psychoanalysis, neurophysiology, Buddhism, Western philosophy and others. Completely unlike a collection of essays; you're presented with the rich, dynamic and fascinating syntheses of the theories from each of these fields. The dialog format emphasizes the creativity and intelligence of participants. Worth reading no matter which philosphy you endorse -- all the better if you have some interest in each! This book has that rare quality of really making you work your brain muscle AND being a book you can't wait to come home to after work. Don't skip a page!

3.0 out of 5 stars Drawing Out Some Potential Links between Science & Buddhism, 6 Aug 1999
By A Customer
I found this book to be a little dry at times but nonetheless provides some useful explanations on the myths which have been with the human race since the ancient time: dream, sleep and death.

From a buddhist perspective it helps reinforces the belief (at least not disproved it) of buddhist that there is a higher level of consciousness not yet been measured via any scientific means. From a scientific standpoint, the book has summarised the recent developments in neuroscience and showed us that there is a possibility one day both religion and science will meet face to face and one would have to change the fundamental concepts one used to hold. It could be the scientific community or the religious groups. At least HH the Dalai Lama is very open to the ideas in the book while the scientists were at times pretty "close" and reluctant to take a different perspective which made some of them sounded a little bit defensive.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great reading
I found this book very interesting. It shows how science and Buddhism have very few contradictions. This book also highlights the intelligence of the Dalai Lama. Read more
