Lama Mike Crowley

A true ancient, having been born in Early Medieval Wales. Mike does speak English, though, stopping very occasionally for breath. He knows lots of weird stuff.

Born in Wales in 1948, Mike has extensive knowledge of both psychedelics (yes, even the very obscure ones) and the more esoteric aspects of Buddhism.
Having been the primary student of Lama Radha Chime Rinpoche since 1966, Mike "took refuge" in 1970 and was himself ordained as a Lama of the Kagyud lineage in 1988. He is the author of two books: "Secret Drugs of Buddhism" and "Psychedelic Buddhism".
He was a close friend of the late Ann and Sasha Shulgin (hence the "very obscure" psychedelics) and has many Buddhist students. He now lives in San Francisco.
