He is so humane, wise and decent. It is the first on the list as you go down the page.

I was able to find a pod cast :). My reading ain't so hot lately. He touches on what he delves into in 'Hold On To Your Kids' about the recent replacement of peer bonding for child /adult bonding.
I appreciate his work immensely. Thank you for the link.
I may have posted the following last year when I was interested in how his Vancouver safe house worked. At the risk of being redundant, and because it is both transcript and audio/visual for the reading impaired like myself....

Mate's oxymoronic joke, 'criminal justice system'.

Have you looked at his book In the Realm of the Hungry Ghosts? I've been dipping into it again....

>Have you looked at his book In the Realm of the Hungry Ghosts?
No I haven't but I find him very congenial.
I first read about the Realm of Hungry Ghosts in Chogyam Trungpa's "Cutting Through Spiritual Materialism". In the movie about him he gets everyone to bring their marijuana and he throws it in the fire bag by bag, arguing that it creates neurosis. Meanwhile he drinks a great deal of whisky but appears only occasionally drunk (and suddenly sober), perhaps assisted in this by what John Steinbeck IV said was a $40,000 a year cocaine intake. It's a good book. Very clear minded :)
