This discussion is getting too personal. Our goal is to learn Dhamma. It is better not to put down or promote teachers. Please stop doing either.  Different people (including teachers) have different preferences/perspectives and are at varying levels of understanding. Only a Buddha can see anyone else’s level of understanding; we can only make guesses.

  • If you have a question you would like to discuss, you can post it. If you can answer or provide helpful information on others’ questions, please do so, too. We all would appreciate that. Let us discuss Dhamma concepts, not teachers.
  • If you had a specific experience or issue with a teacher, please don’t post names. If a problem is unresolved, you can ask the question without posting the source. Our goal is to learn Dhamma.
  • I encourage everyone to follow teachers/instructors whom they like. There are many teachers out there. I have listed some (not a complete list) in “Parinibbāna of Waharaka Thēro.” You should learn from whoever is providing helpful information. It is a good idea to listen to/read from various teachers. You will automatically spend more time with your preferred teachers because you learn more from them. 
  • It is better not to be attached to a specific teacher other than the Buddha.
