Meeting #6 June 8, 2009 - Ashram I did not see Luang Por for several months after our last chat. I left the Peace Revolution after helping them re-organize and re-imagine the project for the coming year, and was back in New York before I could even think about it.

I am only the observer here and I feel lucky to be that. Everyone in the room is Thai, so the questions are in Thai, the answers are in Thai, and one of the monks is translating for me.
