Scientists Meditate on Happiness

"In summarizing the two-day discussions, Eric Lander, a molecular biologist and a leader of the Human Genome Project, urged more scientists to open their minds to learning from Buddhist meditation and related practices. He called on scientists to understand that the pathway of science is only one way to understanding. 'Science is a very powerful and effective paradigm,' he said, 'and yet we know it does not contain all the answers to all human needs. Like any one-dimensional diet, consuming only science leads to malnutrition.' " (Wired News via (Vedana)
