Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This is an absorbing account of a dialogue between leading Western scientists and the foremost representative of Buddhism today, the Dalai Lama of Tibet. For modern science, the transitional states of consciousness lie at the forefront of research in many fields. For a Buddhist practitioner these same states present crucial opportunities to explore and transform consciousness itself. This book is the account of a historic dialogue between leading Western scientists and the Dalai Lama of Tibet. Revolving around three key moments of consciousness--sleep, dreams, and death--the conversations recorded here are both engrossing and highly readable. Whether the topic is lucid dreaming, near-death experiences, or the very structure of consciousness itself, the reader is continually surprised and delighted. Narrated by Francisco Varela, an internationally recognized neuroscientist, the book begins with insightful remarks on the notion of personal identity by noted philosopher Charles Taylor, author of the acclaimed Sources of Self. This sets the stage for Dr. Jerome Engel, Dr. Joyce MacDougal, and others to engage in extraordinary exchanges with the Dalai Lama on topics ranging from the neurology of sleep to the yoga of dreams. Remarkable convergences between the Western scientific tradition and the Buddhist contemplative sciences are revealed. Dr. Jayne Gackenbach's discussion of lucid dreaming, for example, prompts a detailed and fascinating response from the Dalai Lama on the manipulation of dreams by Buddhist meditators. The conversations also reveal provocative divergences of opinion, as when the Dalai Lama expresses skepticism about "Near-Death Experiences" as presented by Joan Halifax. The conversations are engrossing and highly readable. Any reader interested in psychology, neuroscience, Buddhism, or the alternative worlds of dreams will surely enjoy Sleeping, Dreaming, and Dying. This absorbing account of a dialogue between leading Western scientists and the foremost representative of Buddhism today, the Dalai Lama of Tibet, features narration by Francisco Varela, an internationally recognized neuroscientist. Engrossing and highly readable, the conversations will be of merit to any reader interested in psychology, neuroscience, Buddhism, or the alternative worlds of dreams. 10 illustrations. 3 color photos.

Aus dem Klappentext: Der Dalai Lama stellt sich mit renommierten westlichen Denkern den Grundfragen der Menschheit: Wie gehören die elementaren Bewußtseinsstufen des menschlichen Daseins - Schlafen, Träumen und Sterben - zusammen? In der zukunftsweisenden Synthese von westlicher Wissenschaft und östlicher Weisheit eröffnen sich neue Perspektiven des Daseins. - Francisco Javier Varela García (* 7. September 1946 in Santiago de Chile; 28. Mai 2001 in Paris) war ein chilenischer Biologe und Neurowissenschaftler, der zusammen mit Humberto Maturana vor allem für die Prägung des Begriffs Autopoiese bekannt wurde. Leben: Varela absolvierte 1967 seinen Master of Science in Biologie an der in Santiago de Chile ansässigen Universität von Chile. Im Jahr 1968 erhielt er aufgrund seiner Leistungen im Fach Biologie ein Promotionsstipendium an der Harvard University. Dort erwarb er 1970 seinen Doktor (Ph.D.) in Biologie. Nach einer dreijährigen Rückkehr an die Universität in Santiago zog es Varela vor dem Hintergrund schwieriger Arbeitsbedingungen aufgrund des Militärputsches in Chile zurück in die Vereinigten Staaten, diesmal an die medizinische Fakultät der University of Colorado Denver, wo er von 1974 bis 1978 forschen konnte und auch den Großteil von Principles of Biological Autonomy schrieb. Nachdem Varela 1980 letztmals in seine Heimat zurückgekehrt war, war er ab 1984, als er Gastwissenschaftler am Max-Planck-Institut für Hirnforschung in Frankfurt wurde, nur noch in Europa tätig. 1987 war er wissenschaftlicher Koordinator und Moderator des ersten Mind-and-Life-Dialogs des 1990 offiziell gegründeten Mind and Life Institute, der im Oktober in den Räumen des Dalai Lama in Dharamsala u. a. mit Eleanor Rosch stattfand. Auf der Konferenz wurden allgemeine Themen aus der Kognitionswissenschaft vorgestellt. Im Jahr 1988 wurde Varela zum Forschungsdirektor der Abteilung für Kognitive Neurowissenschaft des CNRS in Paris ernannt, wo er bis zu seinem Tod blieb. Außerdem war er Leiter der Neurodynamik-Einheit am Hôpital de la Salpêtrière in Paris. Seinen letzten wissenschaftlichen Vortrag hielt Varela am 24. März 2000 auf der 8. Mind-and-Life-Konferenz, die unter Leitung von Daniel Goleman in Dharamsala stattfand. Das Thema des Vortrags lautete Wissenschaftliche Erforschung des Bewusstseins. 2001 starb Varela an seinem Krebsleiden. Unter dem Titel Monte Grande Was ist Leben? begann Franz Reichle im Jahr 2004 mit einem dreiteiligen Dokumentarfilm über das Leben und Werk Varelas. In dem Film kommen neben Varela selbst zahlreiche seiner Kollegen und Freunde zu Wort, unter anderem der Dalai Lama, Heinz von Foerster, Evan Thompson, Anne Harrington und Humberto Maturana. Bis Januar 2017 wurden auch Teil 2 und 3 der Dokumentarreihe realisiert. Francisco Varela war mehrmals verheiratet und ist Vater dreier Kinder, darunter die Schauspielerin Leonor Varela. . . .
