Ah, to have the time and money to go to these sorts of things :-/

*sigh* yeah... A few years ago I missed out on a whole series of his lectures for the same reason. Maybe third time will be lucky!

He can also tell you how to make a 6 figure income off the CIA. His brother too!

Hmm, following up on that makes for interesting reading.

Politics and religion always make for an interesting mix. In many ways life is much easier for a head of a country when they don't have the actual country to worry about :-)

Even given the case of the very best, still they would be found human.

Absolutely :-)

I realised in a 10 day Vipassana retreat a few years ago that getting to mystical experiences in a manner that meant I was away from the world wasn't for me. I don't begrudge monks and nuns the pleasure of seclusion, but I think the practice of people who are deeply inside the world is of much more benefit, both to the practitioner and to the world.

is that this year or next year? would have loved a bit more notice!!

Yes indeed. I got it in an email asking me to forward it -- the organisers haven't been quite able to get enough publicity happening I think. Hopefully they won't have too much of a loss.
