From Sept 26 to Oct 1, 2023, Deer Park Monastery hosted a retreat called The Buddha The Scientist, where we explored how scientific knowledge and Buddhist wisdom can be combined to create lasting solutions that impact the world.
Dr. Eric Loucks, from Brown University, spoke on the role of mindfulness in sustainable behavior change and encouraged us to optimize behaviors-such as diet, sleep, and physical activity-to drive well-being. He discussed how mindfulness can help us change our habit energy and disrupt the link between craving and our behavior. For example, it can help us regulate and sustain our blood pressure by being present when we crave sugar or alcohol.
Dr. Loucks is the director of the Mindfulness Center at Brown University, where he teaches mindfulness-based programs and leads research that investigates the science behind mindfulness and its impact on health and well-being. Loucks has practiced mindfulness for about 25 years, and he received ordination into the Order of Interbeing in the Plum Village tradition.
The Buddha the Scientist Retreat is a transformative journey into the present moment, empowering scientists and the wider community to cultivate mental stability amidst the multifaceted challenges of our time.
