In Memory Of The Black Monk Of Thamkrabok – Gordon Baltimore

Just a quick note to express our acknowledgement of the passing of Gordon Baltimore last week at the age of 60. News of his death made papers and media around the world…he will be missed:

Gordon made quite the impression on TDA when they met years ago and was the subject of a couple of past posts:

We’re hoping that this monk who helped so many find peace from the storm at the Cave of The Teaching is now experiencing his own well deserved Nirvana.
