Here, Reggie points to the often hidden and unrecognized dimensions in the life journey of the Buddha. He says that Thich Nhat Hahn’s book Old Path White Clouds shows how the Buddha’s renunciation of conventional norms was quite radical and threatening to the cultural establishment of his day.

This talk was offered at a Dhyanasangha Weekend and shared with the Public Broadcasting Service in support of the film The Buddha. To explore more of Reggie's teachings on the Buddhist tradition, please visit dharmaocean.org.
