Alan Wallace has a breathtaking command of knowledge rooted in Buddhism but embracing the physical and cognitive sciences and most importantly informed by meditation practice. This book will help set the stage for a unique development in the twenty-first-century& mdash;a genuine collaboration between the contemplative traditions and Western science." -- Richard J.
