StillJustJames Posted December 3, 2023 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wandelaar Posted December 7, 2023 Most important here is civilized interaction. If you stick with that much is possible. I'm interested to hear what you have to say about the integration of spiritual and scientific perspectives. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
