Renowned Buddhists spiritual teacher & Novel peace prize winner Dalai Lama is now in a centre of controversy for his mediation education theory. Recently many western scientists opposed his theory.
The spark of controversy has started on research subject of mediation. The topic of the Dalai Lamas research is whether the intense mediation practiced by Buddhists monks can train the brain to generate compassion and positive thoughts. He will speak on this topic at the annual meeting of the Society of Neuroscience in next month at Washington. More than 544 brain researchers seek to cancel the Dalai Lama lecture in Washington. They said that it will highlight a subject with largely unsubstantiated claims and compromised scientific rigor and objectivity.
