I have known Marc Gafni for 4 years and his work for over 15. He is unique among friends and teachers in that he is tireless in his work to bring understanding, evolution, love and redemption to the world. He is intense, rigorous, passionate and his mind moves very quickly. And he is also spectacularly kind, sweet, loving, deeply-feeling and reflective.
I have never experienced him as anything but profoundly curious and caring, not just for those around him, but also for the fate of humanity. I have seen him go out of his way to show respect for all traditions, all peoples, and in particular, for those who have few to speak for them.
To see him lambasted by hearsay and exaggerated calumny is nothing new in the history of revolutionary teachers. It saddens me greatly and I know, from my own discussions with Marc, that he welcomes open, direct conversations in the context of mutual responsibility, healing and careful discernment, even with his most vicious slanderers.
In the end, he is a gentle teacher of a fiercely gentle dharma. His teachings are a blessing.
