Dear Jim, Walter, Everyone,
An interview of heart, as well as a provocative social commentary of those times. Amazing to comprehend how it all began. The whole story seems like pith instructions!
Thank you once again,

Closing theme: Balinese Monkey Chants. Chogyam Trungpa very much enjoyed these traditional Balinese chants. They were sometimes used to wake up participants at Magyal Pomra Encampment.
