Culadasa is now offering one on one video consultations for those interested in speaking with the acclaimed author of The Mind Illuminated. Given the status of his health, this fortuitous opportunity is available for those who can afford the fee, which has generated some controversy – consider reading the discussion held over at /r/streamentry, which includes responses from Culadasa himself:

Given the nature of pragmatic dharma, which consists of modernizing good teachings to accelerate awakening en masse, I consider the topic of dana well worth investigating and re-contextualizing. I am often dismayed at the hardline stance and dismissal of pricing that deviates from the dana model (which has considerable merit), espeically when considering that Culadasa has offered hundreds of talks freely, wrote TMI (a book that is exceedingly affordable given what it offers), and is struggling to pay medical bills and run his retreat center with no retirement funding whatsoever.
Taking this in whole, may those who are interested approach this offer with an open heart.

Thank you for sharing.
I'm very saddened to hear about Culadasa's situation. I'm thinking of taking up his offer as a donation; I've actually been benefiting a lot from his free dharma talks this past couple of weeks.
