Hello, my name is James and I have been a lifelong environmentalist, an entrepreneur, inventor, activist, local elected official, a university lecturer, philosopher, contemplative scientist, and dedicated meditator for over 60 years. That description even tires me out. I am looking for a place to chat about Buddhism in general and Tibetan in particular. I am very curious about finding ways to integrate spiritual insights/experiences and scientific findings, especially about mind and perception. I am hoping that this community might be open to all of that.
