Well, the issue isn’t finding one—they’re a dime a dozen, every town has a Tibetan Center. It’s finding one with whom one can have a good enough fit that you can learn from them. (As Ken McLeod said.) That used to be difficult; for various reasons, it is now nearly impossible.

His book A Trackless Path triggered a major experiential and understanding shift in my own practice. Found it through your blog Dave, my heartfelt thanks.

Excellent book; glad to hear!

Ken's revelation around John Gray's line ("philosophers think they're seeking truth when really they're seeking peace") seems very germane to your work. But Gray seems very nihilistic, even as lines like this (from his recent COVID piece) seem somewhat forward-looking.pic.twitter.com/gjilP5tJjK

Yes, I find him nihilistic too.
