In this video, Buddhist monk Gen Kelsang Rabten is in conversation with astrophysicist and lay Buddhist teacher Kadam Peter Kurczynski.
Their wide ranging discussion touches on the common points between science and spirituality - for example, how discoveries in quantum physics correlate to profound Buddhist teachings on the nature of reality - but also how meditation can open us to experiences completely beyond the reach of the physical sciences.
Kadam Peter has an extensive background in science as a post doctorate student, researcher and university teacher and currently works as the chief scientific officer for NASA's cosmic origins program. In parallel to this life in science he has trained in meditation for 30 years and taught Buddhism extensively, He currently teaches classes for Kadampa Meditation Centre Washington DC. https://meditation-dc.org/
