Anyone who has downloaded a bit-torrent is probably familiar with the concept of swarming. It means that when you join a particular torrent, there are seeders and peers. The seeders already have the complete files, and they are seeding the peers, who are downloading it. But the peers are also uploading to other peers the bytes that they have already downloaded. This makes downloads faster, and a team effort. In effect, all the peers are helping each other and the seeders to complete the download of the files. That is what being in a meditation group is all about. If you do not have a Teacher (seeder), all the peers can still help each other to become complete.
