Description

The conference focuses its attention on craving, desire, and addiction, as these are among the most pressing causes of human suffering. By bringing contemplative practitioners and scholars from Buddhist and Christian traditions together with a broad array of scientific researchers in the fields of desire and addiction, hopefully new understandings will arise that may ultimately lead to improved treatment of the root causes of craving and its many manifestations.

Venue: His Holiness's Residence, Dharamsala, HP, India
Date: October 28 - November 1, 2013
Duration: 10 sessions each approximately 2 hours
