"The experts in Buddhist mind science have been working with neuroscientists to design research that will document the neural impact of these varieties of mental training. Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche has been one of the expert practitioners most actively involved in this alliance, working with Richard Davidson, the director of the Waisman Laboratory f~r Brain Imaging and Behav- ior at the University of Wisconsin. This research has yielded stunning results, which if replicated will alter forever certain basic scientific assumptions-for example, that systematic training in meditation, when sustained steadily over years, can enhance the human capacity for positive changes in brain activity to an extent undreamed of in modern cognitive neuroscience." --Daniel Goleman
