You're right. Let's look at it this way. The last active teacher in my part of the state was ME. I know all the other teachers here. No one has learned here in quite some time. Several meditators have died. So unless meditators are cloning themselves.... BTW, 80 and 100 miles away (in different directions) there are a few teachers. Haven't heard of anyone being taught.
