Yeah, but I'm not sure anyone who didn't attend missed anything anyway.

This is perhaps a better representation of what transpired, for at least some of the conference, from one participant's view. A mixed bag, I think.....?

Never the twain shall stay together - one wonders why - too much Dharma lite by converts??
