Here's a question that came up first on another forum of which I am a member. The responses were interesting, and members have since posted it on a number of other forums -- Christian, Buddhist, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, atheist, Native American -- in which the responses were equally interesting and even more varied.
So I'm posting it here to see what the responses might be on this primarily TM-centered forum. I think we all know what Maharishi's answer would be to the question; he has made it clear many times in the past. I'm just curious to know what individual people here think. The original question, posed by a Tibetan Buddhist monk, was: "If you knew of a spiritual practice that you were *certain* produced beneficial effects to all who practice it, and produced equally beneficial effects for the world as a whole, and you had the ability to legislate the practice and force everyone to do it, would it be ethical to do so; that is, would such an approach be in accord with the dharma?"
