The story is personal and i would not want it published. Please contact me about it if you wish. Here is one of my favorite Dr. Ajari stories. One night in early fall of 1977, I had gone to Ashland, Oregon with friends to see the Star Wars movie. Coming home over the Siskiyou Mountains, the car began shooting FLAMES out of the exhaust pipe. We didn’t know what was going on, and fortunately made it back to Mt. Shasta safely. When we arrived, there was the group, in front of my old apartment building. It must have been midnight or so. Dr. Ajrari pacing back & forth, with mala in hand. I got out of the car and he says... “WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? I’VE BEEN SWEATING BULLETS!” I still laugh out loud when I think of it! He was one in a million. With Love, Ladybear VK told me he forwarded my story & photos to you yesterday.

“WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?
I’VE BEEN SWEATING BULLETS!”

I still laugh out loud when I think of it!

I haven't made much progress on the Dr. Ajari front this summer, but it's a long-term project, so that's fine...more time for information to trickle in. I appreciate your help!

I understand that he is referred to as "Lama Lodru Rinpoche" now that Jamgon Kongtrul III and Kalu Rinpoche Sr. have passed on, and the control system is suspended. I guess that's California for you.

Dr Ajari would come by from time to time with some of his troops, and the lamas were very amused that he would always give them 20 dollars whether they answered his questions or not. He was generally considered to be something of a nut-bar, although I have to assume that there was some cultural misunderstanding. He was always very nice to me.
