i removed a link to some fundamentalist christian page discussing the book. this is a scientific book. what some religious lunatic thinks about it is absolutely irrelevant. this book does not deal with theology or anything. it describes chemical reactions in the brain and how they can be triggered. this lunatic-page did not add any scientific info whatsoever and should not be referenced on a wikipage about a scientific topic. --Sophieophil (talk) 09:37, 4 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

quoting from the link on the wikipage Benson[edit]

"The Dalai Lama concluded his address with the Buddhist understanding of mind and its nature. Drawing upon references in tantric literature, he summarized the ultimate nature of mind as “essentially pure . . . ‘clear light’.” This raised an interesting response and dialogue with the panel of scientists, (ch. 2) who have experienced the workings of mind as physical responses of the brain (pp. 25-26).

The dialogue panel included David M. Bear, Joseph J. Schildkraut and Carl E. Schwartz (Psychiatry); Steven W. Matthysse (Psychobiology) and David D. Potter (Neurobiology). Views were exchanged on such issues as whether or not mind can observe and understand its own nature, similarities between mathematical lawfulness of occurrences and the working of karma, Buddhist concept of emptiness and the ultimate nature of reality, the roots of psychological confusion and disturbances. One of the most provocative exchanges centered around the Dalai Lama’s experience that ‘bad’ feelings or actions (anger, aggressiveness, etc.) can be ‘neutralized’ through meditation, in contrast to the scientists’ observations that “decisions and emotions are calculated by nerve cells whose behavior we cannot bring into consciousness and cannot control by conscious mechanisms” (p. 30)."

Updating the information[edit]

To Whom It May Concern,

The information regarding Dr. Herbert Benson is inaccurate and needs to be updated. How do I go about doing so?
