And I remember eating the battered burger and chips.

I have a vivid memory of it.

And I also have a vivid memory of feeling better.

Me and my little brother, we weren't there.

My sister was just a baby.

Everyone else was gone to this event to bury my dad at this place I've never, still never been to.

For a long time, until I started to get therapy and talk about it.

And I started to realise that.

And I am very compassionate about it.

He was, you know, very early on he got into transcendental meditation.

He was just a very much an alternative kind of person who... Okay, well then, could I say that your brother introduced you to Buddhism?

Yes, absolutely.
