Live webinar with Richard Davidson: "Francisco: In Love with the World"

Описание: Reflecting on Francisco’s singular influence on Richie as a person and a scientist, Amy and Richie considered the broader questions of Richie's own personal and scientific evolution throughout his years of working in “contemplative science,” within and outside of the Mind & Life family. We offered the following guideposts for their conversation:
What were the ideas, concepts, or discoveries that were turning points for Richie in his thinking?
How does he experience the imbrication of experimental work in the lab and on the cushion?
What do the teachings of people like His Holiness the Dalai Lama and others mean for his work as a scientist?
This dialogue provided an intimate window on the life and work of one of the world’s great contemplative scientists today, and should be of interest to anyone curious about the development of the field and the spirit of the work of people like Francisco and Richie.
