Today Cody and I went to
Wutai Mountain, a Dzogchen retreat center in Lawrence, for a free half-day meditation retreat. There I got to meet old students of
Trungpa Rinpoche. I also sat with one of my old professors, Robert Price, and his wife. They told me about how
Ram Dass (
who I just found out has a son!) used to visit them in Lawrence about twice a year! After two hours of sitting we talked about the
The Four Yogas of Mahamudra, ate an incredible lunch, and then practiced archery by the pond.
