If we are quick we can welcome them here, or just not bother ...
Is the traditional in your face transmission a good thing? Personally I found the teachers there outstanding but no one wants to moderate them ...
Anyways if you have a need to expound, preach, reach out to the zennith, perhaps you might spread some ...

It seems they've come across newbuddhist and are jealous of our format. ?
Anyway, I appreciate the value of teachers and making a distinction with standards for qualification helps students sort out who is more likely worth listening to and who you should take with a grain of salt.
I was in agreement with the subsequent post.
Perhaps for an open online forum a more egalitarian approach is appropriate and teachers would be better operating within their specific space. I think of @Jeffrey and his online teacher and sangha.
In my experience, Zen can get a little too “chain of command” for my taste. Respect and honor should be earned and given based on behavior and knowledge, not a title. I agree that everyone should walk in the room on equal appearances and then you have to take personal responsibility for weeding out stuff.
Sure, we can welcome them here! ??![:mrgreen: :mrgreen:](https://newbuddhist.com/plugins/emojiextender/emoji/little/mrgreen.png)
Disclosure: We are an equal opportunity moderated house.
Well if there are Zen teachers going spare we could use a few new ones...

Maybe we have Nothing to offer, just not enough ...![:3 :3](https://newbuddhist.com/plugins/emojiextender/emoji/little/blush.png)
