    Emory University (США): «точка» соприкосновения тибетского буддизма и науки

    Дождь идет целый день и поэтому в дополнение к теме о фонде Темплтона, как «точке» соприкосновения буддизма и науки, хочу добавить еще одну, в этом случае существенный акцент делается на образовании. Отчет Коха в Scientic American о поездке группы ученых в монастырь Дрепунг (южная Индия) – это одно из событий этого направления, насколько я понимаю.

    У Emory University особые отношения с ЕСДЛ. Вот структура взаимодействия.

    The Dalai Lama as Professor

    His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama first visited Emory in 1987, two years before receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, at the invitation of the late John Fenton, professor of religion. His second visit was in September 1995, with Emory the first stop on a four-city, 12-day visit to the United States in celebration of his 60th year. He received the first Emory President's Medal during that visit and spoke to a crowd of more than 4,000 in the Woodruff Physical Education Center.

    His Holiness made his third visit to Emory when he delivered the 1998 commencement address on May 11 and received an honorary Doctor of Divinity degree.

    On February 5, 2007, His Holiness was named Presidential Distinguished Professor at Emory University, the first university appointment accepted by him.

    Emory-Tibet Partnership

    The Emory-Tibet Partnership has made Emory University a leading center of study of Tibetan philosophy and religion in the West. We are continuing to expand the boundaries of knowledge through cutting-edge research in Tibetan medicine and meditation, as well as educational initiatives for teaching modern science to Tibetan monks and nuns. With your support, Emory can continue this groundbreaking work.

    ...
    Emory-Tibet Science Initiative
    • Emory science faculty and scholars are developing a comprehensive program for educating Tibetan monks and nuns in modern science.

    • Each year Emory scholars produce a two-volume bilingual science textbook on neuroscience, biology, and physics.

    • More than sixteen Emory science faculty members travel to Dharamsala, India, each year to offer a six-week summer course to ninety Tibetan monks and nuns who will
    emerge as future leaders in the convergence of science and spirituality.

    • Emory hosts an annual International Conference on Science Translation into Tibetan, defining and standardizing terminology and concepts, and thereby expanding the breadth of Tibetan literature.

    • Emory meditation researchers and scholars develop and offer contemplative programs for Educating the Heart and Mind in schools and hospitals as well as to underserved populations in Atlanta.

    "I deeply appreciate that Emory University has accepted my invitation, and has made a commitment to fully collaborate with the Library of Tibetan Works and Archives to develop and implement a comprehensive and sustainable science education program for Tibetan monastics. I have long believed in and advocated a dialogue and cross-fertilization between science and spirituality, as both are essential for enriching human life and alleviating suffering on both individual and global levels. The Emory-Tibet Science Initiative has a unique opportunity to fulfill this need, and thus make a contribution not only to the Emory and Tibetan communities, but to the world at large, by expanding the horizons of human knowledge and wisdom." - H.H. the Dalai Lama

    Compassion meditation may boost neural basis of empathy
    By Carol Clark | eScienceCommons | Oct. 4, 2012


    The meditation protocol, known as Cognitively-Based Compassion Training, or CBCT, was developed at Emory by study co-author Lobsang Tenzin Negi, director of the Emory-Tibet Partnership. Although derived from ancient Tibetan Buddhist practices, the CBCT program is secular in content and presentation.
    Geshe Lobsang Tenzin Negi, Ph.D, is the co-founder and Director of the Emory-Tibet Partnership, a multi-dimensional initiative founded in 1998 to bring together the foremost contributions of the Western scholastic tradition and the Tibetan Buddhist sciencees of mind and healing, and a Senior Lecturer in Emory University's Department of Religion. He is also the founder and spiritual director of Drepung Loseling Monastery, Inc., in Atlanta, GA. In this capacity, he serves as Co-Director of both the Emory-Tibet Science Initiative and the Emory Collaborative for Contemplative Studies. He also developed Cognitively-Based Compassion Training (CBCT), a compassion meditation program that is currently utilized in a number of research studies, including an NIH-funded study examining the efficacy of compassion meditation on the experience of depression.

    Geshe Lobsang, a former monk, was born in Kinnaur, a small Himalayan kingdom adjoining Tibet. He began his monastic training at the Institute of Buddhist Dialectics and continued his education at Drepung Loseling Monastery in south India, where he received his Geshe Lharampa degree, the highest academic degree granted in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, in 1994. Dr. Negi completed his Ph.D. at Emory in 1999; his interdisciplinary dissertation centered on traditional Buddhist and contemporary Western approaches to emotions and their impact on wellness.
