happiest man’ by scientists based on their research data.
Matthies Ricard’s skull is wired with 256
sensors at the University
of Wisconsin as part of
research on hundreds of advanced practitioners of meditation by the neuro-scientist
Davidson.
The scans showed that when meditating on COMPASSION , Ricard's brain produces a level of
gamma waves - those linked to consciousness, attention, learning and memory - 'never
reported before in the neuroscience literature', Davidson said.
The scans also showed excessive activity in his brain's left prefrontal cortex compared to its
right counterpart, giving him an abnormally large capacity for happiness and a reduced
propensity towards negativity, researchers believe.
The title ‘The World’s Happiest Man’ is not based on subjective opinion but based
on objective scientific evidence.
So, now it is scientifically established that by changing mind (Thoughts) through meditation or
mental-training one can change brain (physical neural connections).
That is ‘Mind over Matter’ is a fact not a wishful thinking and compassion is the highest form of
human emotion that can induce the change.
