@jbralston @McCutcheonSays Heard a Tibetan Lama advising never to trust a humorless teacher and that Jiddu Krishnamurti (I was a huge fanboi) was a case. Impressionable, I sadly put Jiddu down. Soon, his joke book found me. So appalled by the Lama's assassination, I dropped Tibetan Buddhism like a stone.

Quoted by@ncolloff That's very lovely. An aside. I was an impetuous, know-nothing neophyte when, three decades ago, actively scanning a contemplative horizon, 'Govinda' radically altered the compass of my life. A cosmic blessing more inclusive and generous than us both, I now sense. Reality, wise.
