Buddhism has influenced the work of contemporary musicians including Leonard Cohen, Laurie Anderson, Philip Glass and the creators of the "Buddha Bar" series. Today we hear what makes the religion increasingly popular among creative minds. Also: Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter Bob Parins wrote most of his debut album while working in a parking lot.
