“I am delighted that the Center for Contemplative Research, under development in Tuscany, Italy, has taken up the challenge in not only offering opportunities for rigorous mind-training, but also in supporting collaborative research by practiced contemplatives and scientists. Together they seek to explore the inner sources of mental conflict and distress, the roots of genuine well-being, and the origins, nature, and potentials of the mind.”

“Every instance that brings attention to change helps us stabilize the understanding of impermanence as the immutable condition of our lives. As a path toward liberation, intellectual acknowledgement of impermanence must become integrated with embodied experience; then we can gain more support for giving up grasping at those things we cannot hold, whether that means our own bodies or those of people we love, or our roles, or our prestige.”
