The Tibetan Buddhist spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, received the 14th proposal by Russian experts to conduct an experiment designed to to confirm or refute the theory of reincarnation – that the human soul is immortal and endlessly reborn.
This was told by domestic neurobiologist Konstantin Anokhin, met with the Dalai Lama last summer in India. Participate in the study will be Russian scientists, psychologists and philosophers, as well as prominent Buddhist clerics.
One of the fundamental Buddhist theses says that consciousness comes to a person from past lives. However, the official science does not agree with this – it argues that the consciousness of the individual appears with the development of the brain of the fetus. If the researcher succeeds document the case of the transfer of consciousness from a former life then this will undoubtedly be the greatest sensation. History knows there are many cases when people remembered their past lives, but science, however, did not recognize such revelations because they did not relied on experimental data. Now the Russian scientists there was a real chance to register reincarnation officially in during a rigorous scientific experiment. Or experimentally disprove her.
It is worth noting that His Holiness has always treated people science with great respect. He himself is interested in astronomy, quantum physics, cognitive neuroscience and many others disciplines. The Dalai Lama of the 14th even publicly stated that if science succeeds in proving the falsity of Buddhist claims, then Buddhists will be required to give up their faith. How easy to guess, such evidence has not yet been received.
Will domestic scholars be able to convince the Buddhist spiritual leader in his wrong? Or, on the contrary, they will confirm once and for all the main postulate of the popular religious and philosophical doctrine? But also more interesting to observe academic science, how it will lead yourself if reincarnation is proven? ..
