Are you a leader in your faith? If so, describe your roles.

No, I work for a living.

I always hated feeling pressured to be a salesman for God. Sure glad I don't have that ball and chain any longer.

I hold the priesthood in the LDS faith as most men do (I work for a living too!).
I have also been "called" to teach the priesthood elders we refer to as elders. I teach a lesson on Sunday about once or twice a month and rotate with other teachers. Is there anything specific you wish to know? |

Just what people are willing to share. I'll ask more questions if something catches my eye.

Though my "religion" is no more than reality, I am most definitely a teacher and have been for several incarnations now. The role of the Bodhisattva does not end at a single grave, but I am sure you understand.

Preacher/teacher...however, don't think I can match "Mighty Mouse" w/horns. I understand my Source as telling me that it is appointed once for me to die and I understand Jesus as commanding me to spread His Word (if you want to label that as a "salesman" so be it). I know what Scriptures tell me the Light is...never personally met someone "beyond it".

Right now, I would say that I'm a student-less teacher.

I have taught "Meditation 101" at our dharma center......not regularly, however. At the moment, I am the spiritual program director as well as the publicist for our sang'ha.
Once we expand our program a bit more, we will be able to begin more serious sutra study as well as having regular group discussions on the Lam Rim. So far, I have been slated to lead the Lam Rim discussions, but we'll see if that will work out. I guess you could say that right now I am more of an assistant teacher who is still learning how to ensure that I don't share false dharma. Peace, Mystic |
