Join, Biologist and author Rupert Sheldrake and Tibetan Buddhist master Geshe Namdak to explore Buddhism, Consciousness, Karma, and Evolution as they dive into the profound power of meditation.They discuss the power of meditation to transform destructive emotions. Geshe Namdak, explains that our stream of consciousness is individual and has no beginning or end. Each moment of consciousness is produced by the previous moment, and this chain of moments carries with it probabilities of future thoughts and emotions. Through meditation, we can purify our consciousness and eliminate the probability of destructive emotions, leaving only the probability of virtuous thoughts and states of mind. This, in turn, leads to happiness and well-being.This episode is an excerpt of a past Science & Wisdom LIVE dialogue, 'Interdependence & the Nature of Reality'.You can listen to the full episode here.Show Notes:0:40: Introduction to Modern Science and Interconnectedness 2:25: The Nature of Consciousness and Quantum Theory 4:01: The Hard Problem of Consciousness and Panpsychism5:31: The Buddhist View on Reality and Consciousness8:28: The Role of Karma and Virtuous Thoughts 10:47: Creativity, Evolution, and Memory in Science and Philosophy13:39: The Role of Probabilities in Science and Buddhism14:48: Buddhist Contributions to Neuroscience and Research Science & Wisdom LIVE brings meditation practitioners in conversation with scientists to address the problems of contemporary society and come to new possible solutions.Subscribe to our NewsletterFollow us on FacebookFollow us on InstagramFollow us on YoutubeVisit our Website
