From yesterday's audio page ... curious timing as I just happened 2 catch an interview on the radio where some dude has written a book about his experiences with buddhism and coming to the realisation that you don't need a guru (to find liberation) ... well, that was the gist of what he said (from the bit I heard) ... but if that's the 'message' of the book, who would
buy it ...
