Venerable Dr. Barry Kerzin stopped in to the Buddhistdoor offices on a recent trip to Hong Kong and shared his thoughts with Cathy Ziengs about the results of developing compassion. How can this affect pain, disease and our health and well-being?

He also speaks about brain research and what the scientists are learning from studying long-term meditators. Dr. Kerzin is one of those special monks who have completed thousands of hours of meditation and offered his brain for scientific research.
