Buddhism and the Dalai Lama

With the Dalai Lama visiting the University of Northern Iowa this spring, we examine the fascination with the study of Buddhism with University of Northern Iowa Associate Professor Suzanne Freedman. Freedman looks at the basic concepts of foregiveness in relationships and society. Also on the program is Stephen Asma, author of "Why I Am a Buddhist: Non-Nonsense Buddhism with Red Meat and Whiskey" and David Gruber, writer and director of the PBS documentary 'The Buddha'.

Ben Kieffer is the host of IPR's River to River
