hi dazzle, i'm not a fan but i do respect the fact that he certainly walked the walk (from tibet to korea). i believe he made his journey with a sincere and a good heart. he immersed himself deeply in two traditions. he's no dilettante and didn't come to his conclusions just by idle speculation. that being said, i pretty much agree with you. buddhadasa and ajahns chah and sumedho resonate with me as well. i was just wondering where you disagreed with him. i still like him but he's beginning to wax a bit pedantic.

mind if i recommend a book? "focused and fearless" by shaila catherine

best wishes,
