With a great and long-standing interest in Asian "interpretations of being" he was initially focused on developing countries, until some wonderful and heart-to-heart exchanges in Asia helped him to realise that one doesn't have to go elsewhere to learn or to assist others and that for him it was better to work in the home country.
