I am so incredibly grateful, and cannot begin to express that to you. Thank you all so much. And to think, all this began with a simple email asking for teaching Siddhartha. Thanks for all your inspirations.
C. Ms. Rosa Clara Salazar and Mr. Joseph Gerald Ostrowski We will like to thank you for your very insightful comments during every lecture. Thanks you for organizing such a memorable experience for us. You are truly an exceptional man and have touched our lives warmly, wholeheartedly, and humbly; and for that we are better human beings. With profound love and respect: Joe & Rosi.
