that guy in the first link you sent me is running his meditation course from a spa in thailand. in the photo on the website, he looks like harvey keitel in abel ferrara's 'the bad lieutenant.' i wouldn't want to mess with him
emory is a bit closer but right now the tibetians at emory are. teaching compassion meditation to patients with cancer. bull goose looneys like us will have to wait our turn.
thanks for the heads-up
