Once upon a time I was an IT contractor. My favourite client was The Rimrock Resort in Banff. Long commute, but I always got a free suite to stay in (often with a balcony) and had fun hanging out with the GM and the F&B Director. I emptied many bottles of Cakebread '97 Cabernet Sauvignon.

Over the decades I've been a tattooed white guy practicing Vajrayana from the Himalayan region as both a householder yogin and then a divorced monastic practitioner, I have encountered outright racism and seemingly widespread normalization of the ignorant belief that westerners are somehow incapable of genuinely practicing Vajrayana and are fundamentally inferior to people who are ethnically Tibetan, Bhutanese, Indian or Nepali. Buddhanature has no race or nationality. Vajrayana was importe...
