Description
THE NEUROSCIENCE OF ZENDr. Philippe Goldin in Conversation with Abbot Ryushin Paul Haller
Monday May 21
Join us for evening where we will dive into the depths of the brain and zen meditation to learn where the two intersect and what it means for our well being. Dr. Goldin spent 6 years in India and Nepal studying various languages, Buddhist philosophy and debate at Namgyal Monastery and the Dialectic Monastic Institute, and serving as an interpreter for various Tibetan Buddhist lamas. He has since become a noted researcher in Clinical Psychology and is on the faculty of Stanford University. Ryushin Paul Haller, is a dharma heir of Sojun Mel Weitsman and has taught at SF Zen Center for over 20 years. He teaches throughout the U.S. and Europe and has led mindfulness programs to assist with depression and recovery. He is interested in finding ways of expressing our practice in society, both as compassionate service and making it available to as many people as possible.
