But NOT MMY's particular tradition, apparently, or at least not as MMY pratices it. Anyone
trying to emulate MMY's neglect of relative charities would obviously be non-Christian,
IMHO.

Perhaps not, but I haven't seen anything to contradict my interpretation, and Anklesaria's
own words as quoted on this forum seem to imply that he was upset because the TMO was
requesting copies of his *research* on meditation in prisons NOT because they were
requiring him to be recerted though perhaps I misread.
