The first visit with Clark Neher

| October 1968. Moerman and Clark Neher went to visit the monk who introduced teachings through radio broadcast in the north. The monk wanted to record teachings on tapes instead of talking with a microphone. The monk also proposed a renaming of the temple, but the head and other monks were called for a meeting. The monk was also accused of being a communist, and so he needed evidence of his broadcasts on radio because he wanted to prove that he was not communist and he was truly Thai. | Punch card
