I would not say he approved, but rather that he was acknowledging someone was benefiting from learning meditation. I don't think that has ANYTHING to do with whether or not someone is pocketing all the money they charge, anyway. Part of the long-term agreement between the meditator and the TMO is that all TM teachers will check meditation of anyone taught by any other TM teacher. Without quality control, and a network of mutual obligations as defined by monetary exchange, who can say who learned what from whom? The TM org as the central coordinating body for keeping the teaching pure requires at least SOME money to keep its doors open. Teachers that go outsideof this may be benefiting a few in the short run, but what about the long run? ------------------------ Yahoo!
