4:00 PM–5:00 PM Montrose Wing #3 "Let the Dogs Bark-The Caravan Moves On" Paul Cash In the context of interpreting Vivekananda's remark, "Let the dogs bark, the caravan moves on," this presentation explores what can be learned from the observation that the Dalai Lama has become a notable exception to the way spiritual leaders are generally treated by western professional media. What does this tell us about the future for the interface of authentic spirituality and a trans-sectarian audience?
