Kung Lek,
I never said "my friend" actually it is an old student who quit 8 step after just 9 months, studied some where else for 9 more , then opened thier own school.
Also he is a she and when I heard that she was teaching 8 step without my permission I told her to not advertise 8 step because she wasnt qualified to teach, so she changed and advertised 7* without having learned 7* mind you , so NO she is not a friend but rather a throrn in my side, and becuse of her lack of knowledge, I feel she is compensating with buddhism to come across as tradtional. I even read a post from her student that quoted her as "very tradtional" which to me seems extremly far from the truth
