 Ma Latifa Dr. Wolf Reuter,MA I am an Academic teacher at the Institut for the Foundations of Planning at the University of Stuttgart, West-Germany. I got the degree of a Master of Architecture in 1971 at the UC Berkeley, California, and the German Doctor of Engeneering in 1978.. I am concerned with philosophical issues and specially interested in Zen, which is a way of Buddhistic religion. I am not a Sannyasin. I know Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh since 1977 bysome of his pupils, by his books and by his tapes. I think he is an important religious teacher in the present time. I would like to see that the United States of Amerika willgive him the right to stay there permanently. [signed] , 22 . 7 . 83 |
