Rama goes on:
Nancy Knupfer, a woman in her early
forties, attended some of my seminars a
number of years ago. She also, entirely
voluntarily, donated a sum of money to
help defray the cost of offering meditation
classes free or at low cost to the public...
Anne said, "Free or at low cost to the public? Rama has a funny
concept of what 'free' and 'low cost' actually mean."
Rama describes Steve Putnam, who:
...made a number of public accusations
regarding the validity of the teaching
process I engage in. My seminars are frequently
attended by Buddhist monks and teachers. Dr.
Wayne Surdam, an award winning Oriental scholar
from the University of California at Berkeley,
also regularly attends. I certainly feel that

of my presentations of the Buddhist and Hindu
philosophies and methodologies than is Mr. Putnam.
I recalled that the editor-in-chief of the Vajradhatu Sun,
an international Buddhist newspaper, once wrote of Rama, "Nobody within
the Buddhist tradition, as far as I know, has ever taken him seriously.
