Can the mind heal the body? The Buddhist tradition says yes—and now many Western scientists are beginning to agree. Healing Emotions is the record of an extraordinary series of encounters between the Dalai Lama and prominent Western psychologists, physicians, and meditation teachers that sheds new light on the mind-body connection. Topics include: compassion as medicine; the nature of consciousness; self-esteem; and the meeting points of mind, body, and spirit.

This edition contains a new foreword by the editor.

Can the mind heal the body? This work is a record of the "Mind and Life" Conference, a meeting that took place in 1991 in Dharamsala, India, gathering Buddhist teachers and Western scholars to discuss a variety of spiritual, philosophical and psychological questions.
