Symposium


Mindfulness has become the term when referring to meditation. Denoting mostly secularised techniques derived from Buddhism, the largest proportion of Buddhist techniques, including Tibetan Buddhism, remain little explored.

This initial symposium is an interdisciplinary event between Buddhist studies and cognitive neuroscience related to Indo-Tibetan visual meditation practices, that aims to developing a conceptual framework for the exploration of Tibetan visual meditations.

 

Speakers: Tina Draszczyk • Peter Malinowski • Tilmann Reiss • Jim Rheingans • Julian Schott • Michael Sheehy • Isabella Würthner
