Warning
Please note that even though I have known some of these people and
groups personally, and have also found the content of their sites helpful, I can't take
responsibility for the work that they do, or how they treat the general public over the
course of time!
You must use your own sense of discrimination when selecting which group to practise with, or which
teacher to learn meditation from.
Essentially a good teacher is one who is honest, does what he preaches, has long experience in
meditating, is reliable and kind. He or she will be your fellow traveller friend on a path to
Wisdom.
Throughout the world, the oral tradition of meditation has managed
to survive, for literally thousands of years, on a non-profit basis, by donations made from
students and instruction is given free of charge as a gesture of affection to Knowledge and
to help one's fellow man. Of course, nothing in this world is "free", because the way you
actually pay back this debt is not with money, but with your attention and your time spent
whilst doing meditation in earnest.
Finding a meditation teacher is an entirely different process from something like buying the
services of a professional doctor, artist or instructor. When a pupil is ready to receive
instruction in meditation a competent teacher will appear in his life, because this is necessary in
the larger scheme of things. This event has nothing to do with financial transactions, but with the
skillful ways humans use to become their own masters.
But first the question to ask oneself aloud is this : "Am I ready to learn
meditation?"
