Research Poster - The Internal Dimension of Buddhist Meditation Practices: An Experimental Phenomenological Study

This project qualitatively analyzes the experience of Buddhist meditation practices. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with sustained Buddhist meditators around Toronto. The results feature a multi-faceted exploration of empirical phenomenology, philosophy of mind, and contemplative insight.

Hi everyone! I am a first-year undergraduate student at the University of Toronto. My primary academic interests include the science of well-being, philosophy of mind, and subjective impacts of contemplative traditions. My research project surrounds how Buddhist-inspired meditation practices impact the phenomenology of experienced meditations, specifically their sense of self, objecthood, and command over their emotion. 

I am originally from India, but I graciously got to spend my childhood across six other countries: Zimbabwe, Nepal, Kenya, Switzerland, Bangladesh, and Qatar. Witnessing so many diverse contexts has opened me up to unique traditions, patterns of behaviour, and problems that characterize our world. 

I look forward to meeting and learning from the extremely talented and passionate members of the Laidlaw community :)
