...grace the hills of Kyoto, Japan's ancient capital, and it's not hard to see why the city seems like the perfect birthplace for the global-warming pact that was named for it. At the end of my trip last November, I toured the grounds of Nanzenji, a Buddhist complex that sprawls through the wooded slopes to the east of the city, and watched red and gold leaves fall upon a rock garden, where they were swept up by monks. Kyoto's temples show how humans can live in nature and actually add to it, not just take from...
...experiments, for instance, Jeffrey Schwartz and colleagues at the University of California, Los Angeles, found that cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) can quiet activity in the circuit that underlies obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), just as drugs do. Schwartz had become intrigued with the therapeutic potential of mindfulness meditation, the Buddhist practice of observing one's inner experiences as if they were happening to someone else...
...country where the King is widely revered, the junta's Cabinet has shrewdly tied its closing-door strategy to an existing royal mandate. After the regional financial meltdown a decade ago, Thailand's King Bhumibol Adulyadej urged his subjects to forgo the turbo-charged drive of capitalism for a Buddhist-inspired "sufficiency economy" that embraced moderation.

...commonly known as a trust not based on logic or reason, but on a transpersonal relationship with a higher power. I would beg His Holiness to enunciate the connection between faith and reason in the context of humanity as a whole. Faith is neither Christian, Islamic, Hindu, Jewish nor Buddhist, nor is it a monopoly of any one segment of the human race. It is also appalling that the 9/11 events-a crude, revengeful act by a few semi-educated individuals-has drawn the battle lines of a supposed clash of civilizations, allowing the Pope to deliver an address remarkable...
...practical ways, how we can make our lives more fulfilling. Ricard started out as a French intellectual who received a doctorate in molecular biology and counted Luis Bu?uel, Igor Stravinsky and Henri Cartier-Bresson among his friends. But 35 years ago he went to Nepal to become a Buddhist monk. When a European scientist from the Himalayas takes us into the meaning of well-being, the result is something that does not belong to East or West, to Buddhism or to neuroscience. It tells, instead, a simple truth: we can change the world by changing the way we look...
