    Re: Zen is not in the Helping Profession

    On a side note about teaching, being a volunteer teacher to those who cannot read and write and those trying to pass the high school equivalency test, I do have some thoughts on teaching, in general.

    To me, teaching is the reason why human civilization has advanced over time. It is the collaborative process, whereby the teacher hopes to pass on experience to another, so that the student may benefit and advance more quickly and may, in turn, contribute more to the world. The teacher always learns from the student, too, and may even, in time, be formally taught by the student. Every great teacher that I have known wants to both grow with their students and hopes to be surpassed by them. Gassho, Grace.

      I've read Brad's books and follow his blog. I don't always agree with his statements, many times quite the opposite, but I am glad that there is a "voice of dissent" out there. That's all I'll say on the matter
      Thanks,

      Please take this layman's words with a grain of salt.
