I Know This Much is True - Max Gimblett

Spiritual Outlook continues a six-part series in which Noelle McCarthy asks half a dozen well-known New Zealanders, "What are the things you believe in? What's it all about?" In asking some of our best-known Kiwis to open up on great lessons and how they learnt them, this series gives us a unique insight into how the things we choose to believe in turn us into the people we become. It all starts with a sentence," I know this much is true..."

This week Max Gimblett explains how it's possible to reconcile the life of a world renowned painter with that of a Buddhist monk.
