The Science of Spirit

Tenzin Palmo isn’t your ordinary Englishwoman.  For twelve years she boiled snow for drinking water, lived without heat and electricity, and spent 12 hours a day propped up in a wooden box.  In this hour of To the Best of Our Knowledge, a Buddhist nun recalls her years of meditation in a lonely Himalayan cave.  Also, a scientist considers the connection between brain and religion.  And a physicist turned priest makes the case for a truce between science and God.
