Chiang Mai Dinner with Friends & Teachers

A picture of a lovely dinner this last year with my former professor Donald Swearer, Director of the Center for the Study of World Religions at Harvard Divinity School, along with his wife Nancy Swearer, Adam and Naoko. Professor Swearer recommended Adam and I to our currents posts in Chiang Mai, Thailand, for which we are very grateful. How I was first persuaded into his Buddhism course is a funny story for another time :)

Here is the full copy of the Newsletter for those interested.

What fun, especially the caption in the newsletter ("recreating his Buddhism class," or something to that effect). Was the Center founded as a Cold War project? I ask because 2009 is its 50th anniversary.

The dinner may have been lovely with all the nice people there - but the table looks mighty bare and spartan. I understand that Prof. Swearer had quite a mystical influence on you, Aj. Daeng. I guess fasting is part of his teaching philosophy!
