| Quotation | First of all, I hope you will forgive the typewriter. I do not type well, but my writing is worse, and I am used to the machine, much as I regret to confess it to the author of Peaks and Lamas. I read your book several years ago and found it very congenial indeed. I certainly envy you your experience with Tibetan monasticism, and I hope at least the young lamas in New Jersey will eventually come down here, as I am not able to go to them, due to our strict interpretation of the laws of enclosure here. |
