Dear Friends, Yogis and Yoginis,

What Love requires is the willingness to know and understand intimately the conditions for the arising of suffering and a commitment to resolving a problematic existence.
-Christopher Titmus

Christopher was my first ever meditation teacher in 1989 when I literally stumbled into my first meditation retreat, 10 days of vipassana in Barre, MA. He was an awesome presence and every night gave dharma talks that made my head spin, grow quiet and then expand into the summer sky outside the meditation hall. I was transfixed. My life would change going forward.

I never heard of him again.

We walked into Ramana’s Café, run by the orphanage in Rishikesh, and while waiting for our hand-picked organic salads to be prepared (oh, they were incredible), I sifted through the stack of books in their library. One caught my eye and I opened it randomly to this quote. Only then did I realize it was Christopher’s book, published in 2000.

What a small world it is!

Namaste,
