[Buddha-l] Meditation changes the brain structure

[JKirkpatrick]

Yes, please--I'd love to have a copy too, for my biologist
step-daughter/prof who thinks meditation results are not
scientifically demonstrated. 

Thanks,
Joanna K.

Albert Einstein on Compassion
"A human being is a part of the whole, called by us "Universe", a
part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his
thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest - a
kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a
kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and
to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to
free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of
compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of
nature in its beauty. Nobody is able to achieve this completely,
but the striving for such achievement is in itself a part of the
liberation and a foundation for inner security."

Letter of 1950, as quoted in The New York Times (29 March 1972)
and The New York Post (28 November 1972)
