Buddhists are self-taught

It seems to me that, despite all the mewling and caterwauling about a sticky-fingered "self," all serious Buddhists (like the unserious ones) are self-taught.

And that it is for this reason that Buddhism sparkles.

    My teacher teaches me, frequently by pointing out whether or not i'm doing the work.

    Charlie ... And those teachings are precisely as wise, profound, true, false, useful or useless as you put them into practice.

    Giving and receiving are a tentative pleasantry, don't you think?
