NP Osel sez no

[Ian Livingston]

These are actually the very same folks I've been working for the last
two years out here in Big Sur (one of their impoverished lot of
"centers".)  It is interesting to hear these folks talk about "Osel".
they really think he talks like Lama Yeshe and says the same kind of
things Lama Yeshe would say.  It is amazing to me how far people can
go to hold onto a delusion, but it is plum astounding when these same
people preach non-attachment with such great vigor.  They cling
insistently to a few words, ignoring the whole impetus of Osel's life.
 Jim Morrison was right about people, we are strange.
