We previously commented about this topic:
In a video we posted there, Richard Davidson explained to the Dalai Lama in meetings and in his lab the effect of meditation on body and brain (starting from min 50) :
Unfortunately, this important and historical video has disappeared from YouTube.
Is there some kind of censorship if we publish something critical on www.petergamma.org? And if so, is this not an evidence more, that Richard Davidson wants to sell us something rather than doing really serious science about meditation:
Richard Davidson explained in the video which has disappeared from YouTube the effect of meditation on the immune system and other experiments Davidson group did where they studied the effect of meditation on the brain, and they did a demo for the Dalai Lama in the lab to explain the research to him.
The comment of the Dalai Lama:
«All these scientific research work, oh, wonderful. They found certain kind of knowledge, wonderful, not just speculation. But they actually found proof through experiments. Then, the instruments itself, also wonderful, very sophisticated, hahaha. Wonderful, must be very expensive, hahaha».
And was it not the Dalai Lama himself who triggered these scientific studies about meditation? But what did he learn from it? He has summarized it in his own words in the above comment. And www.petergamma.org has rescued his historical comment about the research about meditation of the group of Richard Davidson for everyone.
