I didn’t know Brian, we recognized eachother as fellow sangha people and would nod at eachother in passing. But I have a clear memory of him during a talk by Ringu Tulku at Rimé Society above Proto’s Pizza in north Boulder a few years back. Ringu Tulku was on fire that night, talking to the heart of the whole thing, trekchö, ordinary mind. I looked over at Brian, and Brian was on fire too, drinking it all in with a delighted look on his face. Wonderful!
