Join us for Tea Time and Conversation (A Chai Chat) with visiting Tibetan Buddhist Scholars

November 14, 2023 @ 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm

Tuesday, November 14 from 5:00-6:30pm 

In this session, Geshe Lobsang Amchock will introduce basic shamatha meditation and zhi-gnas as taught in the Classical Tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. Followed by Guided Meditation.

Thanks to a collaboration at Northwestern University, neuroscientists Dr. Robin Nusslock, Dr. Ken Paller and Dr. Marcia Grabowecky are hosting four Tibetan Buddhist scholars this fall for an in-depth research training program in human neuroscience including an independent study on the neuroscience of lucid dreaming.

***The training program at Northwestern University is supported by the Dalai Lama and the Emory-Tibet Science Initiative (ETSI) and is part of a larger initiative to grow conversations and collaborations between scientists and Buddhist monastics. This initiative began 15 years ago at Emory University, and it reflects the first major change in the Tibetan monastic curriculum in six hundred years. ***
