(Biff) Painter Tue, 24 Apr 2012 21:37:31 +0000 http://chagchen.org/?p=865#comment-2078 This is John P. Painter. I do not represent my self as a teacher of Tibetan Gtumo. I only say that I learned the methods and practice them myself. I do however teach a Daoist method that allows one to heat the body internally however it is quite different from Tibetan Gtumo practice. I would never disrespect Thrangu Rinpoche by claiming to be a lineage holder in his methods.I hope this clears up the misconception. And Biff is my name it appears on my birth certificate as John P.

Does a "very poor student " (humility aside ) qualify one to set oneself up as a teacher.
