Comment on: Blog Post 'galactica.net': ns of the findings, and a high degree of intuitive methodological sophistication. As well as engaging personally in dialogue with Western scientists and encouraging scientific research into Buddhist meditative practices, he has led a campaign to introduce basic science education in Tibetan Buddhist monastic colleges and academic centers, and has encouraged Tibetan scholars to engage with science as a way of revitalizing the Tibetan philosophical tradition. His Holiness believes that science and Buddhism share a common objective: to serve humanity and create a better understanding of the world. He feels that science offers powerful tools for understanding the interconnectedness of all life, and that such understanding provides an essential rationale for ethical behavior and the protection of the environment. His Holiness summarized these ideas in his Nobel prize acceptance speech: "With the ever growing impact of science on our lives, religion and spirituality have a greater role to play reminding us of our humanity. There is no contradiction between the two. Each gives us valuable insights into the other. Both science and the teachings of the Buddha tell us of the fundamental unity of all things. This understanding is crucial if we are to take positive and decisive action on the pressing global concern with the environment." A complete biography of His Holiness the Dalai Lama is available on the website of the Tibetan government-in-exile.…; Added by Michael Grove at 7:50 on February 28, 2012

Comment on: Blog Post 'ALBERT EINSTEIN': entury and one of the greatest thinkers of all time. The dramatic rethinking that Relativity Theory impelled in our understanding of the physical world - and its continuing influence on intellectual theorizing in many aspects of science - was no less INTEGRAL ART than the sheer breadth of talent that Leonardo da Vinci displayed.What may need to be emphasised here is the vital part played by visual-spatial thinking in his formulation of theories and his radical solutions to problems.As a child, however, Einstein was far from being regarded as specially gifted and reports of his early life and education give several strong indications of dyslexia. Einstein's memory for words was poor and throughout his life he frequently misspelled names of places and people. He also continued to make errors of simple calculation, while being able “to handle deftly the most difficult tensor calculus” as Hoffmann stated. Obviously this did not endear him to his teachers in youth - yet as Thomas West has said - in time Einstein became teacher to all his professors, making the lectures he did not attend outdated and the books he did not study obsolete. …; Added by Michael Grove at 10:44 on June 17, 2012

Comment on: Blog Post 'The Power of Visual Thinking': at court gave rise to futile speculation and great heated babbling concerning matters steeped in cant and helpless superstition and I was in no way esteemed for my ability to speak of knowledge learned by observation, so I kept my peace. There were odd times when forced by confrontation or command to express my own opinion I thrust myself upon them in no uncertain manner, and much to their dismay, though I feared such times with all my heart and soul. For often the discoveries I had made about our world would not find words enough to describe them and I would hang in open sentence while all about men would take me for an idiot. The more I spoke the more I sensed my isolation. The minds of men shut down on simple truth or they talk instead of "higher science " as though it were untouchable to common mortals and governed by the stars. If I soiled my hands in experimentation I was treated with contempt as one who dabble in lower science. Had I to accept to accept their view as a beggar who holds out his hand to receive a piece of stale-bread ? Was it not honourable to find oneself by sweat of brow and observation that there is only ONE science which Nature herself practices inside dark caves & in the breasts of nightingales alike ? She abhors the vacuum which she would have found inside their books if not inside their heads." Ralph Steadman after Leonardo in I LEONARDO…; Added by Michael Grove at 12:58 on January 8, 2012
