Scientists Protest Against Dalai Lama
The Dalai Lama was in Washington to give a speech on meditation and neuroscience at the society for neuroscience's annual meeting. Some scientists were up in arms about having such a person at their meeting. They even went so far as to set up an online petition, others are boycotting the event or withholding their conference papers.Buddha On The Brain
