Beyond the Robe: Science for Monks and All It Reveals about Tibetan Monks and Nuns

By Bobby Sager and Robert A.F. Thurman

Beyond the Robe tells the story of the Science for Monks programme and what it reveals about the larger role Tibetan Buddhist monks and nuns can play in their monasteries, their communities and the world at large. Science for Monks represents the first time in the 1,500 year history of Tibetan Buddhism that Western science is being taught as part of the monastic curriculum. More than 30 people contributed essays, quotes and photographs. Bobby Sager embraces his role in bringing these voices together.
