Thank you Aloka-D.
Sorry to be so unclear but it is complicated.
The teacher is a Sayadaw...Theravada from the Mahasi Sayadaw tradition.
I have been his student for nearly three years since moving from Zen to Vipassana.

What I did to cause his anger?
I think I did not stick to the rules of what could be shared in the interview and went a bit 'off track'.
His power of his response was such a shock to me. [I am usually restrained, disciplined and obedient - to a fault]

This master has been furious with other female yogis for example 'sitting the wrong way'.

However that is in the past.

Thank you for your comment.
