Why is that?
Some say that they want to avoid politics, but I don't truly believe that. In my own experience, there's always the same pattern or feel when you chisau with your classmates and there's limitations with this restrictive practice, and you will certainly miss out on different energies given by other schools.
This reluctantance to chisau with others outside of our own group intrigues me, and I'm hoping that maybe some here can shed some light on this subject.
To help me understand others more, perhaps some of you here can give me your own personal reasons for not chisauing beyond your own classmates.
thanks
