In Memorial

In Spring of 2003 the UWest Religious Studies Department sponsored a special lecture series titled Religion and War in response to the build up and eventual invasion of Iraq by the U.S. led coalition.

Dr. Thich An-hue's presentation on Buddhism and War, in which he begins his talk with a short play, presents a person coming across a Shaolin trained monk who has mastered the martial arts.
