If a teacher proposes an outrageous remedy, should I still accept the diagnosis?

If a teacher’s demands are already unreasonable, reconsider the cause they identified too. Why are they certain your problem comes from that cause? Do not question only the strange method while believing the diagnosis completely.

I discussed a news report about someone seeking help after a breakup. According to the report, the teacher attributed it to karmic creditors and demanded over twenty thousand folded lotus flowers. When that was unmanageable, the alternative was paying five hundred thousand for lamp offerings. I was very doubtful. In all my years of practice and services, I had not folded such a quantity. If even the initial demand was outrageous, the claim that karmic creditors definitely caused the breakup also required judgment.

This does not mean rejecting all services based on price alone. Situations and required assistance differ, as may the person’s financial circumstances. However, someone living ordinarily who is asked for an unaffordable sum while desperate to restore a relationship especially needs to clarify the questions first.

A relationship involves two people. Sometimes the issue is not karmic creditors but insufficient conditions for the relationship. First understand why things are difficult, then consider whether the approach suits. Claims of unseen influence can still be questioned and understood. Establish the cause before looking for a way to address it.
