The Practical Neuroscience of the Buddha’s Brain

The Practical Neuroscience of the Buddha’s Brain

Author

Rick Hanson and Richard Mendius

Key takeaways

The three pillars of Buddhism (virtue, mindfulness, wisdom) can be developed and strengthened through three fundamental functions of the brain: regulation, learning, and selection. Focus on small positive actions daily. Be mindful of the second darts we throw ourselves, and foster equanimity to create a buffer between the response. Have wholesome intentions (desires) without being attached to their results.
