I am only able to leave a comment as a reply to a previous comment, so thank you to the person who commented 😊.
Thank you to everyone concerned who created and contributed to this program. Thank you for making it freely available.
It has been very useful. Thank you, and best wishes.
These words from the Dali Lama are consistent with mind body medicine’s understanding of stress vs relaxation systems. When in a stress neurophysiological state, negative emotions dominate, the PFC is not very accessible, the amygdala is in the driver’s seat—in other words, no access to discernment (clear logical thinking and planning, reasoning, problem solving, positive emotions, self o from etc. When relaxed, the Pafac takes over again from amygdala which reverts to its quiet role , not triggering the neurophysiological responses to threat. Emotions are positive as is reasoning & all the other uniquely human neurological abilities offer by a mind led by the prefrontal cortex. When we act from here, from positive emotions, including compassion, it is energizing & per Barbara Fredrickson’s theory, broadens our perspectives and creates human bonds of mutual support.
Have u heard of mindful crying?
I feel so blessed to have been a part of this important discussion. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I will take the Holiness’ suggestion that our community is not just those around me, it is the community of 7 billion people and I can share happiness with all!
Excellent presentation
A profound message for the world to hear and folk
Interesting God bless.
Merci 😊
Thank you ver much for such precious words! Hope we can introduce all this mind training towards positive emotions and compassion into all school systems and our own homes…If trained and taught since an early age, the next generations will truly experience this embracing sense of compassion to all humanity. Let’s start now from our own close social circles…
Thank you all for your boundless kindness and teachings!
Thank you from the depths of my heart.
Pranam from Rishikesh so honored to hear HH and all distinguished panelists eases our lockdown opens the mind to Global Love Consciouness to ease suffering
Thank you all, for charing this.
A big and important responsibility it has give us
Thank you! A beautiful reminder.
Great insights from HH. The notions of interconnectedness, oneness, unconditional love and so on are embedded in them. Ideally, the evolution of our societies and the planet should come from a deeper understanding from the part of everyone.
What a wonderful teaching on humanity, love and compassion.Thank you so much His Holiness .🙏Thank you all for this wonderful conversation🙏
Everyone has been so articulate on such an intangible subject. However, every time I hear his Holiness speak it rises above all the theories and in the most direct terms brings everything into view. I noted he refused to embrace constructive anger- but in the most graceful way. My interpretation : anger creates imbalance (dis-ease) within ourselves- even when the intention is good. Instead, compassion can be used to solve complex issue but creates balance within (wellness). Compassion as described by Buddhist texts- not western interpretation that is. Thank you to all for a remarkable dialog.
Thank you 🙏🏻
Thank you so much❤🙏🙏🙏
It’s really inspiring program to develop our natural abilities to become less reactive and more sensible.
Thank you to the organisers and technical producers that made the Science and Wisdom of emotions summit a smooth and professional series of sessions. Thank you too, to the riches of the speakers, in particular, His Holiness the Dalai Lama. You have all given me much to both contemplate on and to try to put into practice.

Thank you to the organisers and technical producers of the Science and Wisdom of emotions summit. It was a professional series that was rich in its offerings. Thank you, too, to the considered presentations of all the speakers, especially His Holiness the Dalai Lama. You have all given me much to think about and to practise in my daily life.

‘Hello, I am wondering that with all this knowledge and understanding to support fellow human beings and being compassionate, why economics overrules humanity (Case in point is denial for waving off intellectual copyright for vaccines; at least during Pandemic should we not practice what we preach)’
Thank you to all and to His Holliness for the inspiring conversations!🙏💗

Namastey. I am from India. His Holiness insight is so powerful and practising oneness for happy Humanity should be the major takeaway. Thanks a lot to Dr.Daniel Goleman, Dr.Richie Davidson and Dr.Thuptan Jinpa for lovely intervention with His Holiness.
Thankyou I felt very moved and very peaceful after watching this and also very reflective. Humanity rules!
I always enjoy the presence of His Holiness. In 2005 I was privileged to attend a session held at a very large venue (sports area ??) in Washington, D.C. It was part of “Meditate, D.C.”–a weeklong event with many wonderful presentations held over the entire area. That was 16 years ago and he seems to not have aged one bit!
A wonderful presentation, thankyou from Berlin xx
Sharp brain is not sufficient to bring us a lasting joy. We need both warm heart and sharp brain. Thus, we should have this kind discussion to bring up a balanced humanity to make a better place for us and generations to come.
I am so grateful to His Holiness and the scientists and all the others who made this conference available to me in my remote rural home, more isolated than usual by covid restrictions. I feel joy and renewal of purpose (the path of compassion) and my body responds with tears of joy. After a long career in education and environmental advocacy, I am retired from active contact with the young people who energized me and less physically able than I was, which causes some suffering. This conference was indeed a refuge and a reminder of all the blessings I share with the life of the planet, the wisdom of more advanced Buddhists, and the simple joy of kindness.
Thank you for this opportunity.
Untill now, I don’t find any answer about personal boundaries. I feel it’s a less talked about topic that is really important. Even more so as we are connecting with alot more divers ppl and cultures in this day and age. Is it ok that Somebody harmfully behaves towards you and/or ur beloved ones? Rather be it physically, mentally or emotionally. Should we just accept and let harm lead the way by the other party? I would love to get some insight on behalf of everyone here on protecting ur beloved ones/urself/personal boundaries/protecting fellow beeings?
With love, warmth, light and kindness

I am so grateful to having been offered this very generous and wonderful opportunity to hear this summit with all these amazing speakers. Thank you so much and I will try to continue living a life of loving kindness and compassion to all.
I love this so much he is my saver
Such wisdom and simplicity. Thank you so much your holiness.
Thank you for the opportunity of sharing these great works of healing wisdom from giants of humanity. I wish that I had the opportunity to listen to it over and over again, alas!
Bless you for reaching out to the world especially in these unprecedented times.
Incredible and wonderful conversation. Clear concepts on how relationship mind – emotions should bring humanity into our life, and more impact the flow of the conversation. This is a healthy model for us! Thanks a lot for this wonderful experience!!!
Greetings from India!
This session has been exceptionally rewarding. Gratitude to His Holiness for all the wisdom.
This summit has been so illuminating. The need of the hour. I am sure that the practitioners, healers and the world community at large have greatly benefitted by the scientific deliberation on emotional well being in the backdrop of ancient wisdom.
It was so heartening to see the torch bearers leading the discussions, participating wholeheartedly and at the same time encouraging the young minds to talk about their work. Gratitude to all the panelists.
More strength to the organizers.
May we all together build a more compassionate world.
My thanks to all those who made this happen and available to us. I am trying to digest it all and apply it to my life . Blessings to all,
Thank you so much His Holiness, thank you, everyone of Mind & Life, for teaching us how we can attribute ourselves to make this a better world for everyone.

Thank you for all the reminders. In my 75 years on this planet, I never tire of the reminders that help me in this process of deprogramming, decluttering of negative emotions, of reprogramming, practice which is basically purification in this life of karma. It is serendipitous that I can bridge the old and the new as a holocaust child. I am grateful to HH, and all my teachers in books and those people whom I have encountered in daily life from whom I can learn by observing how I either react or respond in a discerning manner.
I weep with joy at the opportunity to always learn.
May all be well
May all be happy
May all be free of suffering and the causes of suffering

thank you !
Fabulous…. HH the Dalai Lama speaks for a humanity that is grounded in compassion!!!!

I think it is a conversation to be treasured and I would like to have a copy to share with family and other. Thanks to all who planned and supported, thanks to the dear participants, including the translator.
Absolutely totally amazingly incredible!!! I think that if the world’s emotional problems were solved, all other problems would just fall out.
I would very much like to download this Video. When will it be available?
Than you.
With great gratitude. Thank you for
your wisdom, insight and guidance.
Thank you your Holiness
Absolutely transformative. Grateful for the opportunity to hear these talks
Thank you for this teaching. I do wonder what the long term effect will be on children who in this time of pandemic and subsequent isolation from interaction with other children will be. I hope to see teachings come out from the Mind Life Institute in the future to offer guidance in how to heal the damage that has already been done in the past year during crucial developmental years of these children.
Thank you SO much.
Somehow, this is simple but it goes deep.
