![]() On that day, when I actually got lost, I went through some very intense experiences. To make a long story short, what happened was that I got lost. The country had just opened a few years before. In those days, there were no trekking agencies and no tourists. When I was in Nepal, I went for a trek in the mountains, in the Himalayas. I went to Thailand and then instead of going to Vietnam, went back to India and then to Nepal. I was against the wars - I didn’t want to get drafted, so I didn't go to Vietnam. I was a Vietnamese citizen, so my father said that if I came to Vietnam I was going to be drafted. In 1969 I was going to go back to Vietnam with my family, but the war - basically, it was the worst time of the war in Vietnam. A little bit, perhaps, but the focus for me was more social and political engagement. I was more involved in the political action and not so interested in spiritual things. I didn't spend much time in Vietnam as a young man or as a kid. My father was a diplomat and we were traveling around the world. My father was a Buddhist, but he was not a practising Buddhist - it didn't really have a strong impact on my upbringing or life. So, I was more politically involved, although I come from a Buddhist family. I was also in Prague, it was at the time of The Prague Spring of 1968 and the Paris’ protests. That was a very special time for young people questioning society all over the world. In 1968, I was a student in Paris and I was involved in the May 1968 student’s revolution. I was 18 years old at the time, so that tells you how old I am now. How did you start meditating? Who was the first person you've met that you knew that he/she was meditating?
