A talk by Matthieu Ricard (a Buddhist monk) about the nature of authentic happiness. Before becoming a monk, he was a scientist, and he currently studies the effects of meditation on the brain.

A video about what it’s like to have Buddhist parents. I thought it was interesting that all of the kids were either not religious or Atheists. I guess Buddhist parents don’t pressure their kids much to follow in their footsteps. I bet, as they get older, at least some of them consider Buddhism as an option… it’s really more of a philosophy than most religions… no creator God or anything…
