$$$

"Inspired by a series of ever-deepening realizations, Adyashanti shares his unique teachings which have been compared to those of the early Zen masters." Only 200 bucks. This is what he's got to offer: "In order to wake up, you must commit all of your inner resources one-pointedly to the task at hand". Adya, It only costs, like, THREE BUCKS to get a KUNG FU MOVIE from Blockbuster. The true test of a "spiritual teacher" is the effect he has on "his students". Is he creating accolytes, dependents, subservients, and immitators? Does he insist upon receiving special treatment? If we're not interacting as equals, there's no teaching. Because THAT RIGHT THERE IS THE TEACHING. If there's a big dynamic ASSUMPTION, like, for example, that I'M THE MASTER AND YOU'RE THE STUDENT, the very of openness that Zen is all about ain't in effect.
