Zen Master Rama (now deceased) After his death by sucide, ZMR left behind a large grant to be used for Buddhist purposes.
This funds a lot of reputable Buddhist projects.
Given that Rama died a suicide, and also tried to poison his girlfriend
and favorite dog so that all three could die with him, this makes one
wonder what consequences can be for any organization that uses money
acquired through the career of a delusional and and very ego centered
man.
