You may be curious because you've been seeing all those Buddha face Free Meditation signs in your neighborhood week, after week, being reposted again and again and again.
Ask yourself this:
* Where is the money coming from to pay for all those fliers? Paper costs money. Print jobs cost money. If the printing is in color, it costs even more money. Who is paying for it -- and how much will you find yourself paying?
* Whose effort is putting up all those fliers? Some volunteers are working their asses off and not being paid to do it. Will you have the time to do this if you get involved?
* This thing appears to be a religious gig. This means it is tax exempt and you, a tax payer are indirectly subsidizing this.
You have every right to ask questions. And because as a tax payer, you are indirectly subsidizing this organization, you have a right for their
free meditation class to start on time and not keep you up past your bedtime.
If anything has images of Buddha or refers to Dharma, the class
should refer to Buddha's Four Noble Truths.
It should not be about prosperity, mind mastery, psychic phenomena.
People in that class may seem bubbly and enthusiastic while you are sitting there having doubts.
Trust your gut. Those bubbly enthusiastic people may be plants, people who are into the group, and are there as cheerleaders to make the event seem
better than it is.
