the current news, were more than just chats. They were the building blocks of a friendship that

of our conversations with me, striving to be a beacon of light for others as he was for me.
To my mentor, colleague, and cherished friend of nearly 30 years, Ajarn Bhunupong—your
remembrance and the moments we had, continue to inspire and lead me every day.
