On Buddhist Dances:

According to the Buddhist monastic code, monks and nuns are forbidden to dance. It is even an infraction to watch a peacock dancing. In keeping with their monastic brethren, school son Buddhism have thus paid little notice to the fact that Buddhist monks, nuns, laymen, and laywomen have been dancing across Asia for centuries. Joseph Houseal reminds us of the importance of this dance, eloquently leading the reader on a tour of the Buddhist world, offering his unique insights, drawn from years of research and practice, at every step along the way.

Presented by the Glastonbury Institute Educational Archive of Althea Northage-Orr at The Chicago Center for Psychophysical Healing: 1622 W. Devon Ave, Chicago, IL.
