I wasn't sure the purpose of the [Sheperd Fairey-designed] Aung San Suu Kyi postcards, or who head monk Ashin Nayaka received them from. I was too slow trying to formulate my vague question, so he just gave me one of his stack instead.

I was surprised to see Ashin Sakkinda of the Brooklyn temple here, and he laughed to see me too. When I asked him later why he'd been there, he said cheerfully, "because they invite me. If you invite me, I also come. Maybe someday!"
