Sacred Silence and Science

Compassion from a Buddhist's and a Neuroscientist's Perspectives Sacred Silence and Science Festival of Faiths 2013

Matthieu Ricard, molecular biologist turned Buddhist monk, author and photographer, and James Doty, MD, founder and director of the Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education.

Compassion has been a fundamental precept of essentially every religious tradition and for many is what defines our humanity. While clearly caring for those who are suffering results in significant benefit to the receiver, science has now shown that such behavior offers profound benefit to the giver in regard to mental and physical health and to longevity. There is now a body of evidence that demonstrates that through mental training practices such as meditation one will benefit in regard to health but also have a greater sense of fulfillment and happiness.
