Scientists give props to Buddhism

Seems there’s something to all that way to end suffering stuff . Go figure.

Tests carried out in the United States reveal that areas of [Buddhists’ brains] associated with good mood and positive feelings are more active. […] They found that experienced Buddhists, who meditate regularly, were less likely to be shocked, flustered, surprised or as angry compared to other people. Paul Ekman, who carried out the study, said: “The most reasonable hypothesis is that there is something about conscientious Buddhist practice that results in the kind of happiness we all seek.”
