Hi Jim, and Amara,

Amara, thanks for your welcome - :)

Jim, I have met Primoz a couple of times in a samatha-vipassana
meditation group I attended. (Not realising until I read your post of
his distinguished academic achievements). He is a friend and
colleague of my first teacher Patrick Kearney (now guiding teacher at
the Blue Mountains Insight Meditation Centre). 
I  have met Jou once or twice a few years back, and had contact on a
local list we both belonged to at one point - he is well-known in
Buddhist circles in the Brisbane area. Jou was a monk for 6 years and
has written occasionally about his rather unique perspective of
Buddhism.    I believe Primoz will be having a very interesting
time. ;-)
