Dear members,
For those of you who were not able to attend Bernard Faure's packed Sydney Ideas lecture "Buddhism and Neuroscience: A Problematic Dialogue," you haven't missed your chance to hear it.
This provocative lecture has been podcast and is downloadable from:
http://sydney.edu.au/sydney_ideas/lectures/2012/professor_bernard_faure.shtml
Faure questions the assumptions behind the research on meditators' brains and re-contextualizes contemporary emphasis on meditation as the definitive Buddhist activity.
Kind regards
AABS Executive
