Richard R. Davidson said, the Dalai Lama the 14 th challenged him to do this scientific study:
https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.0407401101
It was published 20 years ago in PNAS (which means Post Nature And Science?). But which scientists which are not entangeled with Richard Davidson confirm the findings of this paper?
- The findings of this paper fit very well the reports of spiritual teachers of Tibetan Buddhism. But are there also new papers about this topic, exept for those we find in «Altered Traits», or independent reviews about meditation research from people who are not entangeled with Richard R. Davidson, who critizise what he writes or says about meditation?:
We observed a lot of entangelement between people in recent years who are “experts about mediation“.
- The Dalai Lama the 14 th meets with Richard R. Davidson on a regular basis.
- Matthieu Ricard, Buddhist monk with a PhD. in Cellular Genetics is Co-author of the PNAS paper mentioned above.
- Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche participated in this scientific study.
- Tanja Singer, the daughter of Neuroscientist Wolf Singer organized together with Matthieu Ricard and Diego Hangartner a conference that brought the economic aspects into this discussion:
- Begoña Martinez, Managing Director of Landguet Ried Switzerland calls Richard Davidson in interviews «Richie». Is she a friend of Richard R. Davidson?
- Nina from Laghsam Tibetan Mediation in Zurich has a very similar accent as Begoña Martinez. If you hear those two talking on YouTube, is it possible to say which one is which, if you hear only their voices, and is it possible to discern these two from their voices? Is there a family relationship?
All of these findings let Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org doubt about the statements of these people who are not confirmed by independent scientific studies or reviewers. Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org is not entangeled with these people.
Someone who is not entgangled with those people as well was Milarepa:
Milarepa has lived around 1000 B.C., and what Milarepa has taught, is still taught today, and still touches the heart of Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org. And as long as Peter Gamma, Physiologist & Director of the Meditation Research Institute Switzerland (MRIS):
Does not find other scientists in Zurich than Alex Pamma, PhD. PD:
https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Alex-Gamma
who works on meditation research projects in Zurich, and publishes papers in PLOS ONE about meditation, as for instance the following paper:
The Minimal Phenomenal Experience questionnaire (MPE-92M): Towards a phenomenological profile of “pure awareness” experiences in meditators
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34260614
Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org continues ot meditate in his cave at the Meditation Research Institute Switzerland (MRIS), until his skin turns green, as the skin of Milarepa turned green when he meditated in his cave:
Milarepa was attacked by family members and barely escaped, and the same happened to Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org. Peter was furthermore attacked by neighbours, who told him that they are sick, and they wanted him to call the Police for that reason. Very strange and sick neighours. At the MRIS, Peter currently only has sick and strange neigbours.
Milarepa was the founder of the Kagyü schools of Tibetan Buddhism. He is also considered as the greatest poet of Tibet. Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org is not a founder of a school for meditation, and also not the greatest poet in Switzerland.
And Peter was not able to free himself from his suffering to the present day. He continues to visit his psychiatrist on a regular basis, and talks to him about how to free him an all other beings from physical and mental suffering. But his psychiatrist failed to free Peter from his suffering to the present day.
His psychiatrist has taught him about 84 000 teachings, but to put that into very simple worlds, is that he has a good heart, and what does it mean to have a good heart is, that he has the intention to free all beings from physical and mental suffering. And this is summarized about the 84 000 teachings of his psychiatrist put into simple words. But he still failed to free Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org from his suffering to the present day, and therefore Peter continues to visit him on a regular basis, and to talk to him about this topic.
