ohsawa's india

oh, yeah, from india he went to nairobi, from there overland to the congo where he had that famous meeting with schweitzer, then (i believe) to algeria and then to france. lima became the
first japanese woman to cross the african continent overland. both she and ohsawa suffered from tropical ulcers, which they
'healed' by using nori sheet, brown rice, and salt (all air-mailed
to them from nyc). schweitzer had held out no hope for them at lambarene. the native women were amazed that lima didn't
sweat.

in addition to cornellia in california and the ignoramus centers in japan, you can also contact mme rivière in france. perhaps she can give you an idea of what to expect, how to deal with conditions, and whether local ignoramus centers exist. do you need her phone number?

are you going for a yoga retreat?
