Dr. Robert Thurman, Professor of Indo-Buddhist studies at Columbia University, inspiring teacher, lecturer and author of twelve books, discusses the fruition of spiritual practice - our work in the world, with Dr. Larry Brilliant, the epidemiologist who founded the SEVA Foundation, which has returned sight to over two million indigenous people in South America and Asia with free cataract operations. Dr. Brilliant headed the medical team which stamped out small pox in India in the 1970s. Today he is back in India working on the spreading polio epidemic. This program discusses the practice of compassion in our personal and worldly lives. How is a spiritual practice, whatever it may be, taken into the larger society in a useful way?
