A Chance to Meet Ayya Jayati

I'm passing this along for anyone who can travel to France 03-08 August and is a Buddhist or has an interest in it.

I got to know her very well when she was living/teaching at a vihara in the same Northern California town as me.
Her warmth, vast sense of humor and calming wisdom are a delight.

I am unable to travel then, but if you do get to meet this lovely woman, be sure to tell her you are one of my "Cancer Tumor Humor" buddies.

Folded newspaper clippings of breast cancer  statistics regularly pulled from her wallet served to embarrassed, bore or both those reader...
