“The Monk Behind the Myth”
This week on Interfaith Voices, the lead story is “The Monk Behind the Myth”–an “intimate portrait” of His Holiness the Dalai Lama with Pico Iyer, longtime friend of His Holiness and author of The Open Road: The Global Journey of the Fourteenth Dalai Lama (now in paperback). The segment is described this way:
The Dalai Lama is a complex figure- at once a Buddhist monk, the leader of the Tibetan community in exile and a spiritual celebrity. He is also a man whose human side few people know. We talk with Pico Iyer, a friend of the Dalai Lama for over thirty years, about the man behind the image.
