I've been thinking that what Mr. Eko said, sounded like Master Eko. I went looking, expecting to find some connection to Locke and Walt being Conductors on the beach in the UK promo, but what I found was a connection to Dharma.

Reverend Master Eko Little and the monks at Shasta Abbey hosted the 6th conference of western Buddhist monastics for the third consecutive time. It took place from Friday October 20 to Monday, October 23, 2000 in Mt. Shasta, California. . . . representation from the Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Tibetan and Vietnamese traditions. There were four abbots among the twenty-six participants. The conference theme was "The Four Messengers"; the sights Prince Siddhartha saw when he explored the world outside the palace gates; revealing the signs of aging, sickness, death and the spiritual seeker. We used this as a presentation focus in our life as monastics.

The Power of Mount Shasta

New age believers are flocking to the towns of Weed and Mount Shasta on the flanks of California's most majestic mountain. They report UFOs, a refugee from a lost continent, healing energy, giant faces of spirits, welcoming voices, and an energy vortex.
Local residents report sighting an increasing number of these "cosmic muffins" in their communities but their presence is not all together unwelcomed. The New Age believers bring an economic boost to a region dependent on timber and tourist.
Interest in Mount Shasta peaked with the "harmonic convergence", an alignment of the planets in 1987 that brought 5,000 New Age believers to celebrate on Shasta's flank. The volcano is now the home of several New Age groups, including I AM Activity, Planetary Citizens, Brotherhood of the White Temple, Radiant School of Seekers and Servers, and the League of Voluntary Effort (LOVE), and a Zen monastery.

Wow Waltisfuture, this looks very interesting.
Volcanoes made me think again of Kate near Ft. Lewis and Mt. St. Helens. A search of Dharma Mt. St. Helens brought me to this site (http://www.buddhistchannel.tv/index.php?id=9,399,0,0,1,0) about Gary Snyder, a 1975 Pulitzer Prize winning poet for his poem, Turtle Island. Mr. Snyder was also the inspiration for Japhy Ryder, the semi-mystical poet, in Jack Kerouac’s novel Dharma Bums.

An interesting e -card you can send from that site – a close up of an eye with the message Beauty is in the Mind of the Beholder.
