4) You “attained Enlightenment” could you say some more about how you define that, how it unfolded, how it compares to other definitions? PS: Thanks for your answers. I was happy to hear you healed from PTSD. I sincerely hope you’re teaching your students properly.

Those are a lot of questions. Maybe we should set up a time to talk? The enlightenment story alone will take a ton of tweets. Phone, Skype, Google Hangout all work for me.

I have one question: What the hell, Todd? You're ripping people off.

What makes you say that? If I were an auto mechanic and you came to me, would you not get a bill for my time and expertise? I'm not a monk anymore. But I'll help you work through this predisposition and speculation phase at no charge if you want.

and I quote: "Some mentors may be certified instructors who charge hourly fees" You did not become enlightened to "return" and hand out meditation certificates for $250 to benefit others. You didn't learn that model from forest monks or by "studying zen in your spare time

First off, I can't go door to door in the US for alms if I want to eat. Secondly, Enlightenment is only half of the journey. One must come "Down from the mountain." Nearly everything I know about meditation was learned after disrobing. And why so much hate? You should call me.

Your a business model of ill repute. Not a qualified teacher. You can't transmit anything more than a average social worker. Own it. You need to let go the up and down the mountain stuff. I apologize to anyone out there who takes my bluntness/sincerity as hatefulness.

Please don't confuse my life with that of a Buddhist. I'm just a guy trying not to waste the extremely rare skills and knowledge I've obtained while helping others the best I can. I now work 40 hrs a week in the IT field and would love to be able to spend that time helping others
