Bob Thurman : Buddhism on the Web

Bob Thurman is an ordained Tibetan Buddhist monk (way back in '62).
He dispensed with the traditional monks robes after a few years when he became professor in the Religion Department of Columbia University.
He is also President of the Tibet House U.S., a non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation and promotion of Tibetan civilization, and President of the American Institute of Buddhist Studies.
