Lysha Smith is a senior teacher in the lineage of SN Goenka, running the Dhamma Dhara center in Massachusetts.  The conversation touches on a number of issues, including 

• How they manage to keep their courses free of charge
• Why they're so "unhip"?  (We think we're the first big Dharma podcast to do an episode on Goenka)
• Do Goenka retreats cause serious mental health side effects at a higher rate than other traditions, or is it just the sample bias (way, way more people do their retreats than others)?
• How is the lineage evolving?
