yes, see the rest of my post where i discuss this. Does 50% go to teacher, 50% to "National" / "International"? And what if the teacher spent all of his "earnings" on going to moe courses? The flow of funds becomes an offering into the fire of knowledge -- so to the sins flow likewise? But then since MMY created us as "multiples of himself", and initiated us as teachers, does he take on all of our sin load that we took on from students? Or since the offering is made to Guru Dev, and all of the teaching is in his name, is all of the sin eventually absorbed in his grace? Or since it all start with Narayana -- perhaps HE absorbs all of the sin ultimately. I used to work at the Berkeley center, before becoming a teacher, as the "scholarship guy" -- if someone could not afford the $35, then they were usually allowed to pay what they could, and / or promise to pay more later. (yes, it really did work like that back then). So if someone was asked to pay $35 and I heard their story and said ok, $20 is good, did I accrue $15 of merit (thats 1969 dollars so worth way moe today)? Rick initiated Peter, who proclaims jivanmukti has arrived. Does Rick gain GREAT merit for that? But Rick also initiated Haiglin, hmmm, mixed bag of karma for that ? What do you think? :) Unfathomable is the course of sins, um I mean action.
