After leaving the BKs I carried on my spiritual searching in Buddhist mindfulness meditation, Tai Chi, Qi Gong and Yoga. I imagine that other BKs have done the same thing.
When I went to the BKs I was a student and the only free/cheap way of learning 'meditation' was via the BKs. I imagine that many low income people end up there the same way. I wanted to find out if other ex-BKs who have carried on along their spiritual journeys would like to get together and share what they have learnt - in a system with no hierarchy - so the teachers would be a teacher of Yoga, taoism or whatever it is they teach but no system of gurus or anyone being 'better' - and also not donation/profit driven - any money made going directly to established charites - Unicef, Bharat Welfare Trust, BHF etc.
If we offered the public something like this then genuine seekers would not end up going through the pain of the BKs. Surely there would be enough ex-BKs wanting to provide genuine knowledge to help others on the spiritual path on the BK path. Even if we only taught once every few months it is a start but surely this would help people find a truer path?
