Episode 9 – Buddhas Behind Bars
Buddhas Behind Bars was inspired by Justin Albergate. Justin’s father, Al Albergate is a Vice General Director of SGI-USA and Vice Mens Division Zone Leader in Los Angeles. Al is active in interfaith dialog as a board member of the South Coast Interfaith Council and he’s a lecturer in Philosophy at California State University, Los Angeles. Al speaks candidly about his son’s imprisonment and his own efforts as a volunteer Chaplin, sharing Buddhism with inmates at Corcoran State Prison in California.

I enjoyed this podcast as always. It motivated me to read one of my writings from Soka University of America about the prisonization of the US on my podcast. Check it out here: http://www.garageband.com/user/peaceintheeast/podcast/main
Keep up the great work. I’m going to listen to the new podcast on Romancing the Buddha now.
