I think I’ve covered this before, but after a couple of pushes, from Nate at Precious Metal and reader Jacqui M., here it is again.  As Jacqui writes:

“I’ve been enjoying the site for quite awhile… thanks for the giggles!

“I don’t know if you’ve covered this before, but Time magazine this week has a feature on ‘intentional’ food, including the company Intentional Chocolate. Thought you might find it interesting… The Buddhist link is in this paragraph:

Intentional Chocolate, founded in 2007 by chocolatier Jim Walsh, uses a special recording device to capture the electromagnetic brain waves of meditating Tibetan monks; Walsh then exposes his confections to the recording for five days per batch.

Gimmickiness aside, this one seems to me to be an example of the more sincere manifestation a Dharma-Burger might take. The Tibetan monks who meditate “for” Walsh’s chocolate are at Deer Park Buddhist Center, and include Geshe Lhundub Sopa. And as far as I’m concerned, if Geshe Sopa’s down with it, it’s pretty much gotta be a good thing.

And, it would seem, it works. Scroll to the bottom of this scientific abstract.

Thanks, Jacqui and Nate!
