Um, well, this is sort of a solicitation. There is someone whom I regard as not only a Bodhisattva, but also as a political prisoner. Some of you may have benefitted from his alleged activities. He has given (almost literally) his life for those of us who are sincere in our quest for inner wisdom. I will ask him if I might share some of the details of his current circumstances, since I will not betray his confidence by doing so without his permission. I ask that you read and consider the contents of the following link, and the link contained therein. http://www.hipforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=206733 Namaste
