On Friday, October 15th, the Dalai Lama will be joined by leading researchers of compassion and altruism for a series of discussions.
The Greater Good Science Center’s Dacher Keltner will join the Dalai Lama for two of these sessions, including the final session of the day, “Exploring Scientific Questions for Future Research on Compassion and Altruism.” This session will concentrate on “addressing ways to ensure the growth and enrichment of the field of compassion and altruism research. It will focus on the next steps and valuable areas to address the kinds of research that can further cast a light on this important topic and bring the question of human compassion to the forefront of modern scientific exploration.”
