No, that's what people who are trying to avoid working for a living have been saying since the beginning of time. Other groups have been teaching for free, paying for their teaching efforts themselves, for about the same period of time. The "It's got to be paid for" spiel comes from people who are too lazy to actually work for a living, and who want someone to support them so that they can avoid having to get a job like everyone else. Historically, in both the West and the East, there have always been groups in which the teachers and monks worked for a living and paid for their teaching efforts themselves. It's just that the lazy fucks who'd rather be supported by people like you than work themselves didn't want you to know about them, and so told you the stuff you just repeated as if it were true. :-) ------------------------ Yahoo!
