An enlightening, accessible, and highly entertaining guide to the guru-disciple relationship, the heart of Tibetan Buddhism
The humility and compassionate activity of the Dalai Lama is something many people can connect with, but how can one understand the stories about some other Buddhist teachers' unorthodox behavior? The centrality of and reliance on a guru is one of most misunderstood elements of Tibetan Buddhism-and one that is most often veiled in mystery. Because the guru can and will use whatever means it takes to wake us up, this relationshipmay require us to drop our most deeply held beliefs and expectations.
Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentseaddresses some of the most misunderstood aspects of this powerful relationship and givespractical advice on making the most of this precious opportunity for transformation. Through stories and classical examples, he shows how to walk the path with eyes wide open, with critical-thinking skills sharpened and equipped to analyze the guru, before taking the leap.
