Beyond the Robe tells the story of the decade long development of the Science for Monks programs and what it reveals about the larger role Tibetan Buddhist monks and nuns can play in their monasteries, in their communities, and in the world at large. Beyond the Robe follows the monks’ study of science, but it is not a science book. The real story is what the study of science has revealed about who these remarkable men and woman really are and the much bigger role they seem so suited to fill.
