FOREWORD BY ROBERT THURMAN
Robert Thurman visiting with the Dalai Lama.
Robert A.F. Thurman is who the New York Times Magazine refers to as the “Dalai Lama’s man in America.” A scholar, author, former Tibetan Buddhist Monk, co-founder with Richard Gere of Tibet House in New York City, a close personal friend of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, and father of five children including the actress, Uma Thurman, he is the Jey Tsong Khapa Professor of Indo-Tibetan Buddhist Studies at Columbia University. Time magazine named him one the “25 Most Influential Americans.” He has lectured all over the world; his charisma and enthusiasm draw packed audiences.
I first met Dr. Thurman when I brought him to Nashville so speak at Symposium 2000, a 16-day peace event conceived and produced by Tennessee Players, sponsored by Vanderbilt University.

In 2005 I visited with Thurman at Columbia where he recorded for Tennessee Players’ CD: Words of Albert Schweitzer and the Music of Bach. That same year, Thurman spoke the words at a presentation of the acclaimed Multimedia Musical Dramatization in New York City, at the Holy Trinity Lutheran Church.
