When I say Initiating, we're contributing a "Contemplative Practices Component" to the FBD concept that is being used in prisons all over Texas.

Randy Chakerian said… - Thanks for this, Terry. I'd love to take a look at your Lojong study guide, but I don't see a URL for it in your post earlier today. Is it missing, or am I missing something?
I notice in another post by you that you are a Dzogchen student. Just out of curiosity, what is your lineage? (I'm a long-time student of Trungpa, Rinpoche.)
Thanks again,
Randy C.
