OK, when I said "oral traditions," and "purity of the teaching," I was, without thinking, referring to the oral aspects of both teaching TM AND teaching someone to become a TM teacher as opposed to other aspects, which was confusion on my part, though MMY appears to believe that the oral parts are most likely to get confused in the long run. Certainly, its easier to have a "telephone" distortion-effect from oral transmission than from written transmission. MMY's video tapes are meant to help prevent that. The entire structure of TM teacher training is also meant to help prevent that. Er, what were we talking about again?
