Raymond Visan left a beautiful legacy and achieved much through artistic expression in his very brief journey here on earth, may his path be blessed and his soul at peace, for he is now boundless, and time can no longer make demands on him.

thank you posting this

Sorry to rain on the parade, but Visan was widely known as a cheater who exploited business partners, ruined his family's duty free business when he was found guilty of criminal bankruptcy and banned for life from being CEO of a French company (which is why his figurehead wife was "president" of the company). He left behind a trail of unpaid debts and maybe was loved by you who knew his entertainment side, but he was basically a crook.

Do you know it is very offensive to Buddhists to use the Buddha name in a venue serving alcohol?? And it's very disrespectful and shameful in doing that you are disregard the culture and tradition of the Oriental people where Buddha has been treated with high regard.
