For the record, John Kells had two teachers of Tibetan Buddhism: Geshe Damchö Yonten (Lam Rim) and Chime Rinpoche (Marpa House), with whom he studied in the 70's. He later told me that despite their elevated status, when it came to basic honesty and hard work, they weren't a patch on the Jesuit priests that had educated him as a boy.
