Is not a key message of what we have learned from Lhagsam Tibetan Meditation that we know this center basically from his YouTube channel? And another message we learned from Lhagsam Tibetan Meditation in Zurich that we don’t need to go to Lhagsam, we can also find teachings on YouTube which are as good as those from Lagsam ore even better.
So from the perspective of someone who funds such a center, is not the message to learn that it is not worth to fund such a center, since it is not possible to make money out of it, even after the best-selling book «Altered Traits» has been published?
And who is interested in such a knowledge? Eventually pharmaceutical companies, bancs, and insurance companies who where eventually the funders of the centers. And they know now, that investements in such centers are not a good investement.
And altough the Dalai Lama the 14 th is popular, as well as Richard Davidson, it is basically not possible to make money out of meditation retreat centers, but only from selling books of those or selling entry tickets to sports states in Zurich? And also this is message deliver scientific data to the business scientists of pharmaceutical companies, bancs, and insurance companies, which say something about the value of such an investement in meditation centers.
But here we have a conflict of values. Since meditation is not about making money, which is about outer values. Meditation is about inner values.
