If Tomorrow I Were Leaving for Lhasa, I Wouldn’t Stay a Minute More… is the second studio album by American post-punk band Red Temple Spirits. It was released in 1989 on the Nate Starkman & Son label, a subsidiary of Fundamental.

Dedicated to Tibetan buddhism, the album displayed a more direct approach and a turn toward Tibet for the music’s spiritual inspiration.

L.A.’s Red Temple Spirits perform ritualistic, droning post-punk soundscapes augmented by tribal drumming, ’60s psychedelia, and a {new age} spiritual sensibility courtesy of British emigre and frontman William Faircloth, fresh off of an EP with Ministry of Love. The band also features guitarist Dallas Taylor and bassist Dino Paredes, a former member of Perry Farrell’s pre-Jane’s Addiction band Psi Com.

Los Angeles based Red Temple Spirits were prophets and shamen, ritualistic healers musically exploring an entirely new world. Pulsating psychedelic sonics meet mesmerizing mysticism, comprising intense spiritual, tribal, primitive imagery. Formed in early 1987, the band has released two albums via Nate & Starkman Son Records (distributed by Fundamental) and disbanded in 1993.
