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.

9. Is not discouraged.

Thank. Have a nice day everyone. [.....]

Tayatha Om Beckanze Beckanze Maha Beckanze Ranza Samughate Soha
The mantra above is the Medicine Buddha mantra. It is very good for healing. Chant it to cure and prevent sickness.

Guru devotion is the root of the path. It is essential. It is very important.
My guru is H.E. Tsem Rinpoche. He is the kindest man I know. He does everything he can to help every sentient. Rinpcohe deserves everything in the world. May all of the things he wishes to be accomplished be accomplished.
