We can be Buddhas - Robert Thurman (video)


(TED about this talk) Buddhist scholar Bob Thurman: In our hyperlinked world, we can know anything, anytime. And this mass enlightenment, says Thurman, is our first step toward Buddha nature. Prof. Robert A.F. Thurman was the first American to be ordained a Tibetan monk by the Dalai Lama. He is a scholar, author, a tireless proponent of peace, and Hollywood superstar Uma (Karuna) Thurman's father.
