Oh, come on. Have you never seen a "charity" guys who just cover their expenses, which include luxury gadgets, top-branded clothing, liquors, taxi rides and four square meals a day?

Welcome to Nepal, then (or any other place in the World). And don't tell me, please, that meditation centers are any different. It is a business. Period.

Your cynicism is completely unhelpful and unwarranted.

If you think the practitioners are being hypocritical or untruthful, say so directly and point to documented instances.

If you think the practice useless, explain why.

Nobody is helped by mindlessly casting aspersions like this.
