The Role of a Spiritual Teacher
What makes a good spiritual teacher? What are some obstructions to practicing with a good spiritual teacher? How do we support our spiritual teacher? The Dharma is not something you get from a person or a book, that you consume and it gives you some magical qualities. It's more a stripping away of all the extra so that our own buddha nature can shine freely. Discover how spiritual teachers provide formal and everyday guidance, helping students continue their practice.
