I remember the 1st time Tibetan monks came to Grand Rapids, MI in the 1990s.for a series of lectures, meditations & rituals. The whole community was intrigued, and it made our local TV news. They started happening more frequently, so they got less attention. But every time they did visit us they brought great blessings.

These episodes are from sometime in the early 2000s. Not only do we speak with Lama Kelsang here, but a young woman who married an ex-monk. Great exchange of ideas. Enjoy. Theme music "Nigal."
