My Hippy Dad Got Busted For Pot And Fled To Canada

Missing Fathers & Unjust Laws

My parents divorced when I was 2. Shortly after the split, my late father, Milton Kessler, grew out his hair and let his hippy flag fly. Then in 1969, he was busted for marijuana possession. This was Texas and back in the day possession meant a minimum of 5 years of hard time in prison. So my dad jumped bail and fled to Canada where he lived for the next 12 years building a successful Bagel Bakery business.

The Noble Practice Of Realization

"The 4 Noble Practices" - Part 3

In this excerpt on “The 4 Noble Practices”, I go into how we relate to the 3rd noble truth of cessation, the gradual stopping of, and complete irradiation of the causes of suffering.  The teaching of “The 3rd Noble Practice Of Realization” is the Buddha’s injunction and practice relating to the truth of cessation.
