Om den här ljudboken
A conversation between Huston Smith and New Dimensions Radio co-founder Michael Toms.
The life of Huston Smith reads like an adventure novel. One of the foremost religious scholars in the world today, Smith has lived in a missionary household in China, monasteries in Japan, and a sweat lodge in North America. Smith has engaged many of the contemporary wisdom giants - including Thomas Merton and the Dalai Lama - and believes in the eternal mystery of life, cautioning against our "tendency to reduce the Divine to where it is easily manageable by our finite mind."
