Really fun show today. As the second installment of my religions of the world series, I was very fortunate to have on my show today the Tibetan monks visiting Kansas City from the Drepung Gomang monastery in India. They are here for about 3 weeks, doing various events around town, hosted by the Rime Buddhist Center. They had a translator with them who spoke very good English. We talked for an hour about their visit, about Buddhism, and about the oppression of the Tibetan people by the Chinese government. These monks, like many Tibetans, fled Tibet and are living as refugees in India. The monks also performed two chants that sounded excellent.
So as a lead up to the interview I played all Indian music.
