Continued from Page 1

In 1995, Schachter-Shalomi was invited to take up the World Wisdom Chair at Naropa University, the only accredited Buddhist-inspired university in the Western hemisphere. The World Wisdom Chair holder is an exemplary scholar-practitioner of a world religion or humanistic discipline, serving as special guide and elder to the Naropa community, providing for the integration of world wisdom traditions with modern culture. Thus, Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado became home to Schachter-Shalomi and a new phase of his teaching career. By the time of his retirement from Naropa in 2004, he had influenced thousands of students and spiritual seekers of all backgrounds, inspired a new Contemplative Judaism program, and donated a permanent legacy of archival material to the university.

Today, Schachter-Shalomi is retired and living happily in Boulder, Colorado with his wife Eve, and his two cats, Mazel and Brakhah.
