CHICAGO — It could be inside a Japanese temple, but in fact, the Chicago Zen Center sits inside a stately Evanston home that some call a hospital for the mind.
Sensei Sevan Ross heads the Zen Center.
"Since the beginning of Buddhism, to help people with mental afflictions. That's what we do," he said.
Student Mike McKane goes to the Zen Center to lighten his depression.
"The meditation sort of put things in perspective for me. It was doing something good for me," he said.
Now, modern science is testing a 2,500-year-old tradition, exploring its healing properties, NBC5's Nesita Kwan reported.
