Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
He has worked in radio in India and taught courses at the University of Michigan, but most people know of Rimpoche Gehlek because he’s a renowned Buddhist monk — one of the last lamas fully educated in Tibet. Rimpoche joins Kojo to discuss his life, his work, and his observations on the Buddhist ideals of compassion and healing in these troubling times.
Guests
- Rimpoche Nawang Gehlek Buddhism teacher and author of "Good Life, Good Death: Tibetan Wisdom on Reincarnation" (Riverhead Books)
