Anyone got the info about who would be doing all this teaching and for what "salary?" I mean, really, how many re-certs are there out there, and what percentage of them can be put to this task?
I'm thinking they'll use mass initiation tactics (phone technique) and the TMO will make the initiators pay for their own travel, food and motel for the privilege of "getting all those pujas under one's belt." If they don't make that offer, then I'll be surprised. Maybe they'll give a small per diem and put out a distress call to the local meditating community to put up a teacher when he's visiting that local. If they do it one student at a time, that's maybe 20 students per day tops per teacher, but that's for only one teaching day...how can 20/day be maintained if three days checking must be done by the same teacher? -- (who must be there to at least be available to check mantras now and then on the first day.) A teacher should be compensated, say, $3500 a month plus a per diem if he's away from home. If a teacher teaches, say, 50 students a week, that's 600 x 50 = 30,000 x 4 weeks = $120,000 bucks for Lynch to pay out and Girish gets it all minus the teacher's salary. But, even though the salary cost is so insignificant, I look to the teachers being screwed out of anything like a windfall profit situation for them. They'll be coming home in the same rust buckets they're driving today. Does Lynch get it that the $600 will be mostly going directly to Girish?
