Reminiscent of some of the scandals at various centers in the USA, human 
nature
being what it is.

> Now how about a real life story, the source of most folklore? Back in 1976 
> I took a vipassanacourse in Bodhgaya and the teacher was (by his own 
> saying) a former president of the Bangkok Abhidharma Institute. He was a 
> good yogateacher too. A few years later I learned that he was living in 
> Germany, not far from the place where I lived in the Netherlands. I went 
> to see him and invited him to teach in a Buddhist meditationcentre I had 
> set up with a few friends. It appeared he had a young wife and a 
> babydaughter. He worked as a carpenter in a factory. It appeared to be 
> very important for him to have an opportunity to teach again. He also 
> tried to graduate in university. A few years later I heard he had left his 
> wife, started his own yoga- and meditationcentre, being very popular with 
> the German ladies.
