A French genetic scientist may seem like an unusual person to
hold the title - but Matthieu Ricard is the
world's happiest man, according to researchers.
The 66-year-old turned his back on Parisian intellectual life 40
years ago and moved to India to study
Buddhism. He is now a close confidante of the Dalai Lama
and respected western scholar of religion.
Now it seems daily meditation has had other benefits -
enhancing Mr Ricard's capacity for joy.
Neuroscientist Richard Davidson wired up the monk's skull
with 256 sensors at the University of
Wisconsin as part of research on hundreds of advanced
practitioners of meditation.
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.
