Dr. Tenzin Pasang participates in the Conference at the Sera Monastic University
 
Dr. Tenzin Pasang was invited to participate in the Mind and Life XXX conference at Sera Monastic University, Bylakuppe, Karnataka, India which was co-organized by the Mind and Life Institute, USA and Dalai Lama Trust, India with focus on contemporary scientific and ancient Indian philosophy perspectives on ‘Perception, Concepts, and Self’. The purpose of the four day conference was to creatively and critically investigate themes of mutual interest concerning the nature of reality, consciousness, the implications of recent developments in modern science, as well as to tackle the ethical issues raised by powerful technical innovations made possible by scientific discoveries. In this dialogue, leading scientists come together with His Holiness the Dalai Lama and a select group of scholars with the expectation that such cross-cultural dialogue can lead to mutual enrichment and even to new insights and embark new lines of research.
The conference has brought together some of the world’s foremost scientists and philosophers from reputed institutions such as the University of California–San Diego, USA; University of Wisconsin–Madison, USA; Smith College; Yale-NUS College, Singapore; Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), USA and many other with His Holiness the Dalai Lama and hundreds of scholars and scientists.
Dr. Tenzin Pasang has been the advisor for Sera Jay Science Center since 2013. He realized that the dialogue between the ancient Indian philosophy and modern science has opened up several gray areas where vast opportunities exist for research. These new avenues have led to open many research centers in reputed institutes like MIT, Stanford University, Emory University, Smith University etc. Dr. Tenzin Pasang with other Tibetan Scientific scholars got a special audience and an opportunity for discussion with the HH the 14th Dalai Lama on the last day of the conference.
