0:00.0	The
0:07.0	The Welcome to Buddha at the Gas Pump. My name is Rick Archer and my guest today is Guy Finley.
0:31.6	Buddha at the Gas Pump is an ongoing series of interviews with spiritually awakening people, and we've
0:38.5	passed the 300 thresholds, so there are many to listen to, and if you'd like to listen
0:43.4	to others, go to Batgap.com and check out the past interviews menu, and you'll see them
0:48.3	categorized in about five different ways.
0:51.3	Also, this whole operation, this whole program depends upon the generous support of appreciative
0:58.0	listeners.
0:59.0	So if you feel like supporting it, there's a donate button there.

1:42.8	Guy is the founder and director of the Life of Learning Foundation, which is a nonprofit
1:47.0	center for self-study in Merlin, Oregon, where he offers four inner life classes each
1:54.1	week open to the public. The admission fee is $3 to those, and if you don't have $3,
1:59.4	he'll let you in anyway. So I thought that was nice
2:01.7	and generous. Some people charge a lot for these things.
