What is Mind? Perspectives from Buddhism & Science March 17, 2011

After the success of the "What is Mind?" event last year, Lama Ole Nydahl and four experts from the fields of medicine, neuroscience, healthcare and philosophy return to explore, examine and debate the nature of mind in Sydney. The evening will be facilitated by a master of ceremonies who will field questions from the audience and encourage healthy debate. This year we're happy to welcome four renowned experts to our panel: – Returning for his second year on the panel is Professor Marc Cohen MD, Australia's leading expert on complimentary medicine. – Professor George Paxinos, one of the world's best known neuroscientists. – Petrea King, Founding Director and CEO of the Quest for Life Foundation. – Dr. Alan Saunders, presenter of ABC's The Philosopher's Zone and By Design, will guide the discussion. Lama Ole will complete the program with a lecture on Buddhism following the panel session. Doors open at 6:30 pm and the panel discussion will start at 7 pm sharp.
