«La coscienza dello spirito» is the Dalai Lama's essay published by Rizzoli in hardback (254 pages, in Italian).
The book collects the Dalai Lama's dialogues with scientists such as Antonio Damasio, Daniel Goleman and Francisco Varela at the Mind and Life Conferences. It asks whether the mind is a by-product of the brain and how consciousness arises, contrasting Western science with Tibetan Buddhism and exploring states of consciousness that escape scientific classifications.
Original work in English: «Consciousness at the Crossroads: Conversations with the Dalai Lama on Brainscience and Buddhism» (1999). Edited by Zara Houshmand, R. B. Livingston and B. A. Wallace.
Aimed at readers of Tibetan Buddhism, philosophy of mind and popular science interested in the dialogue between spirituality and neuroscience.
The 14th Dalai Lama is the incumbent Dalai Lama, the highest spiritual leader and head of Tibetan Buddhism. He served as the resident spiritual and temporal leader of Tibet before 1959, and subsequently led the Tibetan government in exile represented by the Central Tibetan Administration in Dharamsala, India.
