What do Swiss Molecular Biologist Charles Weissmann, Neuroscientist Christof Koch, Neuroscientist Richard R. Davidson, spiritual leader Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche and the Buddha have in common?

All of these are inspiring for Swiss, but none of these received a Nobel Prize to this date.

1. Swiss Molecular Biologist Charles Weissmann did not receive a Nobel Prize for the cloning of Interferon published in Nature ind 1980 to this date, although he is the best known Swiss Molecular Biologist to this date.

2. Neuroscientist Christof Koch did not receive a Nobel Prize for his studies about consciousness to this date, although he is known for his work about consciousness also to the Swiss brain scientists.

3. Richard R. Davidson, Professor of Psychology and Psychiatry at the University of Wisconsin–Madison and the Founder and Director of the Center of Healthy Minds did not receive a Nobel Prize for his studies about how to get a Healthy Mind to this date, although he teaches about «Altered Traits» at the Landguet Ried, Center for mindful living in Switzerland.

4. Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche did not receive a Nobel Prize for meditating 13 years in solitary retreat and for having such a healthy and happy mind that he wanted to stay there for the rest of his life:

Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche

• But Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche’s cremation was attended by over fifty thousand people, including teachers and disciples from around the world. Which means that Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche had at least fifty thousand people who followed him.

• But did Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche teach us something new? Was he not basically a follower of the Buddha who found out 2 500 years before Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche what are the causes of mental suffering and how to eliminate it? This has been written down in Buddhas teachings.

5. But Buddha did not receive a Nobel Prize either to this date.

Switzerland was called the country of the Nobel Prize winners by the Swiss Newspaper “20 min” in 2010:

“If you put the population in relation to the number of Nobel Prize winners, this results in one Nobel Prize winner for every 324,000 inhabitants in Switzerland. An unrivaled value among western industrial nations.”

The Swiss are therefore demanding. Would the person not be a Nobel Prize candidate who delivers a scientific proof that mental health can be trained? Then we had another person who is inspiring for Swiss which they can follow.
