The Gods Drink Whiskey- peace walk, Maha Ghosananda

In chapter 6, it is about Maha Ghosananda (one of
the nominee for Nobel Laureate) with Dalai Lama/Thich
Nan That. He was a student of one of Ghandi disciple.
When the communist govt ban and kill, monk, he was the
only one (??) still quietly wear monk robe. What a
miracle he was not killed.
He started a peace walk (and apparantly became an annual
event) dhammayietra
from Seam Reap to Phnon Penn, model after salt walk by
Ghandi. Takes weeks and along the way villages join
in.
Kind of civil disobedience.
After reading about this guru, I dream to meet him. I
hope he will not die before I reach Cambodia (maybe
next year) He should be late 70s-80s.
