***************
Scientists are more certain now the brain can
actually repair itself (it is called "neuroplasticity").
Read. for example, Abigail Zuger's review of
Norman Doidge's "The Brain That Changes Itself," here
One of the best way to repair the brain (or more
correctly, the mind, according to Buddhism), is through
MEDITATION. In this connection, I would like to
introduce this course, especially if you have already
learned some meditation. If you are new to
meditation, this forms a helpful foundation for joining a
meditation course:
