An area in Tibetan Buddhism which
may be of interest to scientists is the
relationship between the physical
elements and the nerves, in particular
the relationship between the elements
in the brain and consciousness.
Involved here are the changes in
consciousness, happy or unhappy states
of mind etc., the kind of effect they have
on the elements within the brain, and
the consequent effect that it has on the
body. Certain physical illnesses, for
example, improve or worsen according
to the state of mind.
西藏佛教中談到
身體元素與神經之間的關係這部份,
可能會讓科學家們感興趣,
尤其是腦內元素與意識間的關係.
所指的是快樂與不快樂,
這些狀態下意識裡的變化,
這種效力先在腦內的元素上發生作用,
接著對身體產生影響.
如同某些身體上的疾病,
會被心理狀況影響而改善或惡化.
