A neuroscientist and I discussed the relation between the brain and consciousness. His view is that, based on the current research, the brain alone cannot explain the nature of consciousness for two reasons: first, so far the brain has proven too complex to understand it fully, and second, it has been found that in reality there are some mental phenomena that cannot have been produced by the brain.

After a speech at Chuo University in Tokyo, Japan, some of the students shared with me reflections about their thoughts and feelings. I found that they had obtained some benefit and felt very pleased, as this is my aspiration and aim.

At Caltech, visited the residence where Einstein taught at the California Polytechnic University. He believes that religion needs science and that science needs religion. He once said: "Science without religion is lame, and religion without science is blind." 

I gave lectures and engaged in some scholarly dialogue at Kyoto University in Japan. Most of the future politicians, scientists, and entrepreneurs will emerge from these global institutions of higher learning. The world of the future is in their hands. If they love peace and have altruistic aspirations, then there is hope for the world.

Because of your loving and selfless dedication, countless lives are filled with hope and happiness. Today I wish all my female friends, "Happy Women’s Day".
