By some estimates, there are
more Buddhists per capita in Vermont than in any other state. There are a certainly quite
a few Buddhist education and retreat centers throughout the state, including a
nunnery in Bristol.

Buddhism has been popular with
Westerners since the early 1970’s, and there is also a large Tibetan population
in the state who practice their own form of Buddhism.

What does it mean to be a
practicing Buddhist, and how does that practice affect the fabric of this
state? We’ll learn about Buddhism in Vermont with Bill Brauer of Karme Choling Shambala Retreat Center, Dharman Rice of the Vermont Zen Center, and Sonam Chophel of the Tibetan
Association of Vermont

Winooski bakery, Cupp’s, in business.
