scholar, activist, Buddhist teacher. Ex-professor: anthropology, ecology, Himalayas, Buddhism. Presently working with refugees for a living and looking after kids, dogs, and garden otherwise. Used to travel a lot; now perhaps I'd like to found/find a hermitage to support all of us over the next few difficult centuries.
