Hi Van,
---
...
Talking about Buddhism, it really has become very close to my heart. I try to live up to the Eightfold path. But sometimes it’s hard. When we’re living in Georgia I got a chance to go to a talk that the Dalai Lama gave. It was hosted by Emory university. I am glad that I had a chance to see him in person. I try to follow him as best as I can. Have you ever heard of Shantideva? Yes we will continue our talks on Buddhism, hopefully more wiser than the talks we had when we shared an office together.
And now as long as space endures,
As long as there are beings to be found,
May I continue likewise to remain,
To drive away the sorrows of the world.
—The Way of the Bodhisattva, v. 10.55
