Colin Marshall talks to Sharpham College for Buddhist Studies founder Stephen Batchelor, author on, scholar of and educator about Buddhist topics. His latest book, Confession of a Buddhist Atheist,
recounts his journey from young spiritual seeker to devoted monk to
questioning student to holder of the complex hybrid of principles and
practices he has achieved today. This personal narrative builds upon
and provides a background to his famously controversial Buddhism Without Beliefs.
