Featured Photo, August 13: Spotlight on the Zen Center Archives

Representing just a small sample of the SFZC relics and records that the visiting University of Washington archivists work to preserve (see related article), these photos were taken during HH. the Dalai Lama’s visit to Green Gulch Farm in 1979. As sometimes happens with old photos, some details about them are lost over the years, so we turn to invoke our collective sangha memory. Do you recognize the man next to the Dalai Lama? Were you there at the time? Post a response here and let us know—for the record!

On Forgiveness
