Ideas and education

MARLBORO Talk: Attention and the Qualities of Heart: How ought one to live? How could we know? Drawing from recent empirical research on attention, consciousness and emotion, Jake Davis will make a case for a timely thesis that lies at the heart of Buddhist ethics: that there are certain qualities of heart that ought to be cultivated by all human beings; there are others that ought to be abandoned; and we can discern the difference for ourselves. 6:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. Free. Marlboro College/Ragle Hall, 2582 South Road. Information: 802-251-7644; Click for more info on Web in new window.
