Marketplace of Ideas

The sound wave says, "From the Frank Stanton Studios in Los Angeles, this is Marketplace". The program is on public television, which is a marketplace of ideas.

The sound is from the public radio web site: http://marketplace.publicradio.org. See also: http://www.pri.org/PublicSite/listeners/programs/pop_up/marketplace.html, http://minnesota.publicradio.org/, and http://www.americanpublicmedia.org/. Frankly, I haven't figured out who does what where in these interlinked organizations.

The background images are from an Mandala Sand Painting event. The Tibetan Buddhist monks promote compassion for all beings. They also have things to sell, perhaps a modern form of the ancient begging bowl. Vibrations come on the airwaves, which are free and yet the most basic form of market place. See their pages at http://www.mysticalartsoftibet.org and http://www.drepung.org/.

Marketplace of ideas: page 309 of The Lady and the Monk, Four Seasons in Kyoto by Pico Iyer, Alfred A. Knopf, NY 1991"... even a business man or a journalist had something to gain from a night in a monastery, and a taste of stillness. One had to learn how not to spend time, "
