You are masterful teacher and story teller. Both my wife and I deeply enjoy that quality of your imagination that your stories deeply enfold us into our own imaginations. Thank you, David, for opening our hearts and a higher level of consciousness. We love also your storytelling voice.

A beautiful story with the richness of masterful teaching. Thank you so much David! We enjoyed listening to your voice telling the tale and didn’t hear any vehicle noise. My husband and I have all your audio books which we often listen to for help with the dharma. Our friends have also benefited from your books. We look forward to your next audio offering but shall continue to revisit this lovely story from time to time. Heartfelt thanks 🙏. Bob and Colleen

I appreciate how your stories and character interactions are naturally gentle and loving. Our learning (the reader’s learning) likewise unfolds gently and naturally along with Lobsang’s insights. Such a pleasure to read, re-read and experience via your natural recording, complete with ambient noises, which I likewise did not hear. Would not be distracting for me—like being in an easy chair in your living room. Thank you!

Thank you David for a beautiful gift wrapped in the guise of a short story. I truly enjoyed your narration and didn't pick up on any of the background sounds. I found the story of Lobsang's journey, from the young aspirant to novice monk, from whose eyes the scales of superstitious belief fell away from the deep insights and realisations of his study and practice insightful and encouraging. The story is a masterful use of metaphor and I'm very grateful to you for sharing it with your audience.
