Beyond Belief

Monday August 8, 2011

Tomorrow I’m heading up to Manchester to record an episode of BBC Radio 4’s regular religion show, Beyond Belief, on the subject of Western Buddhism. I’ll be in the studio along with Ani Rinchen Khandro and Nagapriya Wright. The topic of the show is what, if anything, Western Buddhism is, and what the future might hold for Buddhism in the West. I’m the “Buddhish” representative, I think…

I’ll add a link here when the show is broadcast.

I want to hear(read) what is your opinion about the Western Buddhism and also is it different at all from the Buddhism, so please do not forget the link!

I am very interested in the Buddhism as a religion and I have been reading some books about it recently. May be I will have the chance to visit Tibet some day and feel the real power of this philosophy and religion.
