Richard Gere who arrived here days back, kept himself away from the media, while interacting freely with the scholars and scientists. Gere has been campaigning for the freedom of Tibet from Chinese rule.
People associated with the conference said it deliberated on issues like correlation between Buddhism and science.
Gere caught public attention for the first time here when he visited Dharamsala six years ago with actor Goldie Hawn. They offered one million dollars for the education of Tibetan exiles. Gere also funds a project, Green McLeodganj, here.
Among the notable foreign participants at the conference were David Meyer, mathematical psychologist in the University of Michigan; William James, professor of psychology in the University of Wisconsin, and Wolf Singer, director of Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies, besides 125 delegates from all over the world.
