Tortoise. There's something I didn't tell you about Peter Valischek.

There's something I didn't tell you about Peter Valischek.

It's not sacrificed and not ordained.

Back when we first went to meet him in Seagberg and he came out of his house to greet us,

I'm only doing for you.

Oh, I see, okay.

So it's kind of a fancy dress.

He was wearing bright orange monks robes over the top of his track suit.

He said he'd put them on especially for us.

And this is what was only for you.

Up the stairs in his office, the room was hazy, covered in a stifling cloud of incense.

And he had a YouTube video set up,

playing from his computer.

This is a singing Buddhist monies.

Chanting.

Huh?

That would be.

Eventually Claudia, who's producing this series, had to ask him to turn it off so we could hear each other.

And actually, that's where my interview with Peter Valischek started, with his conversion to a new religion.

Maybe we can start. When did your interest in Buddhism begin?

I just asked one year, one a half a year ago, because my wife kicked me out and then I said what shall I do? Yeah I have some Buddhist

monks who are German and then I said, perhaps it's something for me.
