In this episode of the Wisdom Podcast, Wisdom CEO Daniel Aitken interviews renowned teachers Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche and Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche. This conversation heralded the beginning of the 2020 Serenity Ridge Dialogues, an online summit exploring the intersection of spirituality and science.

In this episode, Daniel and the two Rinpoches discuss many facets of Dharma practice in the modern world, including:

Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche’s inspiration for starting the Dialogues
What motivated the Rinpoches to start engaging in conversations about the mind with neuroscientists
What the Rinpoches would study if they had their own neuroscience labs
What about Buddhism uniquely places it in a position to engage with science
What the term “Buddhist sciences” really means
and much more!

This event was co-produced with Ligmincha International, the Contemplative Sciences Center at the University of Virginia, and the Jung Center’s Mind Body Spirit Institute.
