Lisa is very kind also. We visited New York together.  She followed us to help us. At first, we were afraid to have conversation with her, but she understood us and eventually, we could make a good relationship.”

A poetic impression titled “What I’m doing” from Jo

I don’t know, but I’m just alive.

And I’m here in America.

It’s the second time I’ve been here.

Everything is same as last year.

Only difference is shape of them.

It might not change in the future.

Whatever time passes like the river flows.

The shape of the world is changing even now.

And it’s same.

Change is not up to shape of everything, but it’s up to me.

If I feel something’s different from before, it’s my change

Nobody except I, cannot change my world, even a tiny thing.

This is what I’m doing now.”

Tibetan Buddhism and Modern Physics: Toward a Union of Love and Knowledge, Vic Mansfield, 2008. “Clearly and engagingly addresses the complex issues of dialogue and collaboration between Buddhism and science, revealing connections and differences between the two.

Engagingly written and packed with fascinating details, A Bull of a Man is a major contribution to Buddhist studies and a must read for anyone interested in the interaction between gender and religion.”
