Dear colleagues, Our friend and colleague, Larry Ward made his journey to the spirit world this morning. He was in his home with his wife, Peggy, and collapsed. He did not regain consciousness. Larry and Peggy have been renowned teachers in the tradition of Thich Naht Hanh for many years. His recent book on Americas Racial Karma led to opportunities for him to speak on many forms of media. Larry and Peggy are the directors of the Lotus Institute which reaches many practitioners around the globe. In recent years, Larry spent much of his daily time in nature and writing poetry. Be watching for his book to be published. He also had been preparing to do three talks on Kazantzakis this fall. The breadth of consciousness that Larry touched will ripple for centuries. Those of us close to him personally journey forward with a deep chasm of loss. We will share more as I am sure others will soon. What an incredible remarkable thing this living is. Dianne Greenwald snd Salvatore (Ray) Caruso
We will miss him! What a life of spiritual service!
