“Science is limited to the technology available at a given historical moment. On the other hand, the ability to explore our internal experiences is limited to the time we can devote to them, the guidance of experienced teachers, distractions and our motivation to know the nature of our mind. And with a better understanding of the nature of our mind and how it works, perhaps we can understand others from a global perspective, taking us beyond tolerance towards a more harmonious coexistence through lived compassion. Being able to use the technology available, especially in Neuroscience and Data Science, with the experience of long-term meditators is my motivation to join the Scientific Advisory Board of the Center for Contemplative Research.”
