Kurt, always drawn to spiritually mystical traditions, became a student in the Arica School founded by Oscar Ichazo. This followed his studies of Sufism, Buddhism, the Tarot, and the teachings of Hopi elders. In this 1982 letter to a fellow Arican, Kurt describes his meeting with the Sharmapa, of the Kagyud-pa lineage of Tibetan Buddhists, to whom he explained the work of the Arica School. Kurt also shares some of his personal history, displaying humor, humility and warmth.
