For all those interested in the secret machinations that often occur behind political movements, this program is for you! Blackmail, ritualistic blood sacrifice, tantric "avenging" lamas, fiery psychic visions from masters of a Great White Brotherhood and a magical black stone that fell from heaven, Red Shambhala reveals that real-life history is at times far stranger than fiction.

Andrei Znamenski will sign copies of Red Shambhala after the program. The book is on sale at the Rubin Museum shop @ $17.95 / $16.15 Rubin Members
