Do the teachings follow a syllabus?
No. This is not a set course leading to a certificate; it is more like driving lessons that lead to a licence. Yes, a group of students could learn certain topics together the Highway Code, engine maintenance and so on but each one has different strengths and weaknesses and requires individual lessons that are tailored to suit. Each one follows his own prescribed path, even though you and your fellows may see each other often. Moreover, since there is only the one Sacred Mountain, and everyone is climbing up it, there will be long stretches where you will be working together. At each fork or turning though the paths may separate again. This is why it is a bad idea for students to compare notes or for one to give extra lessons to another.
