Ed,
For the last ten years, everything that my Teacher has taught me were
gradually experienced by me, no matter how outrageous I thought they
were at the beginning.
Chan is a "personal" experience, which no one are able "transmit" it to
you, except an enlightened teacher.
Walk your own path, you will experience also. We all can, just have to
begin.
Let me know when you are ready to begin, I am always here to serve.
Be Enlightened In This Life - We ALL Can

JM, that's well and good, but of what use is that in reducing the
suffering of others? On the other hand, Bill Gates may not feel so
deeply but does much good with his philantrophic work.
