Retreats/Courses and Money. 10 Questions
Should spiritual seekers express a view about costs of retreats/courses?
Has “Spiritual Enlightenment” or “Personal Transformation” become a Western product with the “Masters” as top salesman of the product?
Does the above question reveal a cynical viewpoint of the seeker about spiritual teachings?
Does the tuition fee of the Master and accommodation charge contribute to cynicism in society?
Should the Master and organisation be free to set any charge and should accounts be publicly available in the spirit of freedom of information?
Is Spiritual Enlightenment /Personal Transformation becoming one of the fastest growth industries in the West with $millions income from a few courses/retreats?
Should we take the view that fees for retreat/courses have no relevance to Spiritual Enlightenment/Personal Transformation?
Do we welcome the personal success of the Master, their courses, charges, online programmes, books and DVDs as it shows the degree of public interest?
Should we feel concern for many seekers who cannot afford to attend such courses/retreats, plus travel costs, and what steps could seekers take?
Can Youtube videos and books of the Master offer as much to seekers as participating in a retreat/course?
The Masters and their organisations would surely welcome your responses, whether supportive, critical, both or neither.
