No, it was more an observation based on their overall lack of vitality, 
their movement, their affect, etc.

She thought it might be some kind of treatment center or something and 
so asked.

Just an observation really. In a way it spoke volumes to what was 
happening with the movement at the time--a huge infrastructure that 
they were having a hard time supporting any longer. And it's of course 
a double-edged sword--a huge infrastructure can be a great support for 
helping get more people to meditate but it can also be an excuse for 
other things as well: high, insane pricing and worst of all IMO: 
creating a system that discourages anything outside of itself, that 
becomes a closed loop, with its own lingo largely divorced from source 
literature so the money sources don't go elsewhere. That IMO is the 
fatal flaw.
