Guru Devotion 3

Alright, continuing this series, I will talk about what to find in a spiritual guide.

You must rely upon a spiritual guide who are the following:

1. who is subdued. Subdued means that he has ethics and moral discipline.

2. pacified. That means he is peaceful and not distracted.

3. who has more good qualities than you.

4. who has perseverance.

5. who is a wealth of the scriptures.

6. has realization into suchness. Deep and stable realization.

7. who is a skilled speaker.

8. Is the embodiment of love and compassion.

9. Is not discouraged.

I noticed that my Lama has all of these.
