He’ll tell us about Bodhidharma, the blue-eyed, red-bearded barbarian who had tremendous influence over the Orient. We’ll also discuss the link between Europeans and Ancient China as Caucasians roamed China’s Tarim Basin 1000 years before East Asians. Ali talks about how “red bearded barbarian” was a common monikor for foreign monks who proselytized Buddhism among the Chinese.

We cover many subjects from the swastika, to Aryans, Nordic warriors, martial arts, Zen meditation and much more.
