SUMMARY:Beyond the Hype: “Buddhism and Neuroscience” in a New Ke
 y
DESCRIPTION:Over the past three decades\, since the creation of the Mind 
 and Life Institute in the 80s under the auspices of the Dala
 i Lama and the neurobiologist Francisco Varela\, a series of 
 conferences have introduced the idea of a convergence betwee
 n Buddhism and neuroscience. Neuroscientists have been parti
 cularly interested in the possible neural correlates of Budd
 hist meditation\, and their experiments have contributed to t
 he current popularity of Mindfulness and derived techniques\,
  such as “Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction.” Apart fro
 m meditation\, a number of important issues\, such as notions 
 of self and non-self\, or Buddhist ethics and neuroethics\, ha
 ve been discussed. Yet\, because of the media attention and a
  desire to reach consensus\, problems and disagreements betwe
 en the two fields have sometimes been ignored or downplayed\,
  and the conversation has been limited to certain forms of B
 uddhist thought and practice.
