Dalai Lama and the Brain - a Book Review

"Wall Street Journal columnist Sharon Begley went to India to attend an international conference on neuroplasticity being held in the Dalai Lama's home, as revealed in Train Your Mind, Change Your Brain: How a New Science Reveals Our Extraordinary Potential to Transform Ourselves (Ballantine, $24.95)."
Neuroplasticity has become a very trendy Science.
"Repeated thoughts and behaviors can literally change the brain's physical structure, growing new cells here and etching new pathways there. The Dalai Lama is so fascinated with it that he made it the focus of the 2004 "Mind and Life" conference, a series of living-room dialogues with top researchers, aimed at creating a fusion between Buddhism and science."
So, it's Buddhism and the Brain that interests us so much and the full article can be found via the following link

Yes, it strikes me that way too.
I guess one has to be selective, use the brain, good for the wiring.
