#017: Alan Clements - The Art of Not Fitting In

Alan is a man of many distinctions. He was the first american to
ordain as a Buddhist monk in Burma in modern times. He is an
author, public speaker, retreat leader, investigative journalist,
a satirist, and performing artist. His numerous books, writings,
and films, include: Burma the next killing fields and Revolution
of the spirit (both books with forewords by the Dalai
lama).

He has also written as book and spoken word: Instinct for
freedom, swimming through stone – a personal journey with DMT,
Natural freedom: the dharma beyond Buddhism, A future to believe
in, and his international best seller, The voice of hope. In this
podcast we talk about finding your voice, passion, dictatorships,
near death experiences, relationships, life as a monk, conformity
and fitting in, spirituality, importance of honesty, climate
change, love and preciousness of life, but more importantly we
get real deep about life.
