May 16, 2017 – Faith & Religion: The Illuminating Venerable Dr. Barry Kerzin

A Rabbi, an Imam, a minister, and a Buddhist monk walk into a radio station… This week on Friends Talking Faith with The Three Wise Guys we’ll discuss faith, the stresses of our current age, and addressing global injustices. The Venerable Dr. Barry Kerzin is both a Buddhist monk and a medical doctor. He has lived in Dharamsala since 1988 and serves as a personal physician to the 14th Dalai Lama. He provides medical treatment for folks in his local community, free of charge. His instruction blends his medical training and Buddhist teachings – emphasizing the spiritual and health benefits of meditation and compassion. Among his many fields of study is the effects of meditation on the brain. We’ll talk with our good friend The Venerable Barry Kerzin (pictured here with the Dalai Lama) about the many stresses of living in the world today and what to do about them. Our conversation with Buddhist monk and physician — The Venerable Barry Kerzin — this episode of Friends Talking Faith.

(About the picture: Both Angels and Bikers protected the “Pulse families and friends” as they attended loved ones funerals — shielding them from the horrendous hate group that tried to disrupt. Pictured above is friend of the show, The Rev. Michael Fronk, Chaplain at Stetson University – an angel, indeed [sketched by a dear friend of his]. Our love and prayers surround him as he is facing serious health concerns right now. We couldn’t think of a better picture for this show. God bless you Chap!)

The Journey Continues

We’ve been doing it together for almost 15 years: talking and listening with each other as friends!  A Reform Rabbi, a Suni Imam, and a Congregational (UCC) Minister.  It has been a journey of ever deepening friendship and respect.  When you are friends first, then even when you disagree, you’re still friends.  It’s a model of interfaith relationship we believe is essential for people of faith, and those who claim no faith community at all.

Friends Talking Faith with the Three Wise Guys –  launched in Florida on Sunday, April 1, 2012, at 6:00 PM (Eastern Time) on Orlando’s NPR affiliate, 90.7 WMFE
