Nope. The lady in question was a teacher with a Zen center in central California. The tradition is taught there, along with other techniques. There is both a walking and a sitting version of the technique. They may have names, but I don't know them...you can call them Larry and Moe if you like. I'm still waiting for you to call each of the forty or fifty Tibetan lineages that have given talks and teachings at KSK to ask all of them whether they teach some effortless form of meditation. If you're going to be Inspector Clouseau, you might as well do a good job of it. Besides, making all those phone calls seems to be good for you, and seems to have convinced you that you actually have a life...I'm thinking of recommending such a quest as therapy to all TMers who have started to have doubts about TM's uniqueness. :-) ------------------------ Yahoo!
