Of course, we who often visit this website know of Thay's extraordinary communication abilities, how he offers the most complicated concepts in a clear, easy-to-understand manner. The dharma lesson in this interview is indeed of the utmost urgency. Equally impressive, to me, was the interviewer's technique. Unlike many interviewers, Mr. Confino did not have a need to interpose his own voice throughout. He asked a far-reaching question, then had the wisdom and sensitivity to listen to the far-reaching reply. How wonderful that a person of his stature has command of the ego!

Looking Forward

Thank you for sharing this interview, most enlightening. I look forward to the growing awareness and raising of consciousness throughout the world, and particularly in the business community. We need to go back to first principles, and re-establish long lost values.

I am very pleased the guardian is recognising light workers like Thayer. There are many more like this who understand the cosmos and we are one.

I wish many people could care for our mother earth as Thay suggests. A true revolution can then unfold.
