Leave your thoughts about The Dalai Lama: Scientist.
| Movie NationRoger MooreHe seems like a decent man, and there’s genuine research grappling with how the mind functions under Buddhist meditation and the psychology of compassion, which has long been his Message to the World. But “Scientist” comes off as something of an over-reach. |
| The GuardianCath ClarkeIf you’re looking for a definitive Dalai Lama documentary, this narrow-focus film about his lifelong passion for science probably won’t cut it. |
| Original-CinLiam LaceyThe Dalai Lama is, no doubt, intellectually curious. But the argument that Buddhism’s mental practices are consistent with scientific thinking has been around for more than a century. We also know that hosts of people, scientists included, swear to the mental and physical benefits of meditation. |
