The London Gourmet Buddies -- a commitment towards a deeper, richer, fuller spiritual life and a passion for good food. Although not all of us are students of Buddhist Psychotherapy at the Karuna Institute, it feels as if we've all been through this journey together. Lama Lobsang, who is always there to offer support, whether it's Dharma talk or a welcome at the airport; Teddy, who is always treating us to scrumptious food and offering us a place to get together at his restaurants; Atsue, a steady presence and inspiration, reminding us that with intention, all is possible.

A precious three-year journey and companionship, a jewel to treasure.
