We looked at this previously at the funding of the this center. Check it yourself if you want to know about the correct details. But if we remember correctly, to funder who funded more than 50 % is not declared. Are these investement bankers, and are those the people who have the power over the Center of Healthy Minds?
We became interested in the topic mental health and meditation trough a poster at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich Hoenggerberg which advertised for a talk of Matthieu Ricard about happiness in Zurich:
And from there we became interested in a PNAS paper published in 2004:
https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.0407401101
Matthieu Ricard said in the above video, that they hoped that the results would be published in Nature. But it was not published there, but in PNAS (Post = after Nature And Science). Why not in Nature? Matthieu Ricard said the results might be revolutionary.
We think also that these results could be revolutionary, even if we look at the results 20 years after the paper has been published in 2004. We have commented about this here:
What are the causes of mental suffering and how can we eliminate it based on scientific findings? Is this not still a Nobel prize topic in 2024?
But are investement bankers the right funders for such a project, or other short sighted money makers? Certainly not. Does this topic not require public fonds to solve a problem of the whole humanity, the problem of mental health? And does it not require that the hole humanity to contribute to solve this problem and not also Richard Davidson with his Center of Healthy Minds?
A global community who tracks the brain waves of about 16 Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche during 13 years until their «enlightement» and publishes Nature paper after Nature paper about this, until the whole humanity has solved this problem and receives a Nobel Prize for it. As the Dalai Lama the 14. has received his Nobel prize already who has triggered the project we describe here about 30 years ago shortly after he received his Nobel Price in Peace.
The Nobel Peace Prize 1989 was awarded to The 14th Dalai Lama (Tenzin Gyatso) “for advocating peaceful solutions based upon tolerance and mutual respect in order to preserve the historical and cultural heritage of his people”

and not for solving the problem of mental health, altough the 14th Dalai Lama would eventually have the knowledge to be scientific advisor for it, he and his world champions in mind training.
