Talk:Diane Perry

Theres talk of copyright violation on my piece on diane perry but it was written from my knowledge after reading several books and viewing documentaries. It came out of my head and was not copied from any article. It is not reposted content.

The article referred to from cygnus books, is very different. Obviously some of the same episodes of her life are mentioned but that is inevitable in 2 different synopsis of some one's life.

If you still believe it should be deleted, please tell me exactly why and how I might write something that wouldn't be deleted.....

This is the article that deleter has eluded to: In 1976 Diane Perry secluded herself in a remote cave, 13,200 feet up in the Himalayas, cut off from the world by mountains and snow. There she engaged in twelve years of intense Buddhist meditation. She faced unimaginable cold, wild animals, near-starvation and avalanches; she grew her own food and slept in a traditional wooden meditation box, three-feet-square - she never lay down. Her goal was to gain enlightenment as a woman. In 1988 she emerged from the cave with a vision to build a convent in northern India dedicated to helping women to achieve spiritual excellence. She tells her story to Vicki Mackenzie with candour, humour and clarity. Cave in the Snow is a gripping story of courage, phenomenal persistence, and the rewards of spiritual devotion.


 * My mistake. It looked really similar. Not a copyvio.  I placed the speedy template in error.  I'll try to be more careful in the future.  Again, my mistake.  i kan reed 09:25, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
