About ronaldp

I took the TSK 10 month program at the Nyingma Institute in 1982 and been a student of this vision ever since. TSK has definitely been a pivotal force in my life–both on a personal/spiritual level, and in my professional and intellectual endeavors. I am also a “Dharma student,” and see a rich interplay between TSK and Buddhist teachings/practice. I’ve done Kum Nye too. Lately, I have been learning and practicing various forms of Qigong and now Chen style Tai Chi. I am a professor at San Francisco State University in the Department of Management/College of Business. I teach MBA students mostly, a course in the Management of Change. I am really not a mainstream business professor. I have contributed chapters to the Dimensions series in TSK, which are edited books by people in various fields that have worked with TSK in different ways. I am excited about this online program and Jack’s new book that accompanies it, “When It Rains Does Space Get Wet?” I look forward to sharing with everyone. Ron Purser

Glow of Time

Posted on November 28, 2006 by ronaldp
