My Response To Christopher Titmuss

On His Comment To Why I Choose To Vaccinate

The other day I made a post on my Facebook page entitled “I’m Vaccinated, And No, I Don’t Know What’s In It”.  Among the well over 100 comments, I was surprised and honored when I saw that senior western Dharma teacher Christopher Titmuss left a comment, which he then re-posted on his blog. Below I am posting his full comment and my response… and his subsequently admirable follow-up response. For context, you can see my original blog post here.

The Essential Qualities Of A Meditation Teacher

And How They Relate To You

In the Buddhist tradition, a meditation teacher is called a “kalyana-mitta”, which means a “noble friend”, or a “spiritual companion.” They are men or women who have already walked the path and can in turn accompany you along your own journey. But are the qualities that make someone a meditation teacher or spiritual guide? I recently explored this question in a Community Call on the essential qualities of a meditation teacher, and how they relate to you.
