Bravo Zulu!
Here's another wonderful pic of our Dharma friend Rev. Danny Fisher and new University of the West graduate Rev. Somya Malasri! Check out the 2010 UWest commencement photos at their site!
Congratulations Somya! I still remember fondly the mornings we sat meditation together at the Army Chaplain School. Perhaps I will see you at a CAST sometime!
