Hi, I'm Bill Turner, uppity gay, ambivalent on tradition, took refuge and Bodhisattva Vow in Shambhala, don't like the Shambhala bureaucracy or the busyness of Tibetan culture (even as I emphatically support the Tibetan people in their exile/diaspora, and couldn't be more pleased that a humble Tibetan monk is the world's leading Buddhist rock star).

In these difficult times you may feel that it is helpful
To be sharp and critical with aggressive people around you.
This approach will just be a source of distress and confusion for you.
