Hello, Tina, it's Vipassana meditator, David Donnenfield, in CA. I just wanted to express my appreciation to the efforts and the dedication of Thomas and yourself in forwarding  our meditation tradition. It's been a tremendous contribution to all of humanity and one of which I myself am the beneficiary. I didn't want this moment to pass without acknowledging Thomas for his important work. His life was characterized by mitzvah; the good deed. Could anything be more fulfilling? I am sad for his passing, but at the same time, I am blessed for having known him a little and being benefited by his efforts a lot. In his memory, this "Vipassana boy" remains indebted.
With metta,
David Donnenfield
