Dear Piya

He is the one. We met every few months or so from 1978 to 1985 and he used
to stay in my house. He passed away on March 25th 2007, from a heart
attack. Around 1985 he left Waalwijk, devoting himslef exclusively to
giving retreats and courses on Vipassana. I don't know the name of the
residing monk.
