I read this post after reading a New York Times article about Microsoft millionaires -- people who made a bundle in Microsoft options and retired from software to enter other enterprises. Some do, or have done, charity work. On one of these online forums some years ago, someone told of teaching some kind of meditation -- not TM -- for free. These guys made enough money from high tech work that they felt they could blow a wad on a worthy cause. He said he and three buddies spent three months in Holland giving away instruction. Their bill for lecture halls, meeting rooms, insurance, publicity and living expenses came to US $10,000 for the period. I may well be out of touch, but I've heard of no wealthy TM teacher who has used his or her fortune to teach full time. Well-to-do True Believers may attend courses, buy products, sponsor yagyas and donate, donate, donate. But I know of no teaching. - Patrick Gillam To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!' Yahoo!
