Tibetan spiritual leader His Holiness the Dalai Lama smiles at Christof Koch, an American neuroscientist best known for his work on the neural bases of consciousness, during the fourth day of the 26th Mind and Life conference on "Mind, Brain and Matter - Critical Conversations Between Buddhist Thought and Science" at Drepung Lachi Monastery in Mundgod, Karnataka, India, January 20, 2013. The Dalai Lama, scientists, philosophers and senior Tibetan scholars address on 'Consciousness in Western Science and Philosophy' in the morning and 'Approaches to Consciousness' in the afternoon. “This is wonderful; real discussion. I have nothing special to add, but I really enjoyed this frank exchange. If everyone simply agrees and approves of what is said, we don’t move forward. Thank you", said the Dalai Lama summing up the day's discussions. (Phayul photo/Geleck Palsang)
