Mark Miller, a philosopher and cognitive scientist at Monash University, Rick Repetti, a CUNY professor and author on Buddhism, and Jonas Mago, a PhD candidate studying contemplative practices, delve into the transformative power of Jhana meditation. They discuss how Jhana simplifies perception, enhancing cognitive flexibility and insight. The trio compares Jhana with charismatic practices like speaking in tongues, and examines neuroscientific evidence showing changes in brain responses during meditation, illustrating profound insights arising from these states.
