- Description
This interview with Rinchen Khando took place as part of a journey to India in April of 2011 called the Vidya Dharma Project. Fifteen twelfth grade students from the Mount Madonna School "Values in World Thought" program participated as part of a year long project. Vidya Dharma translates roughly as "Path of Knowledge." The journey then was to discover both self-knowledge and knowledge of another culture.
