About this listen

Devotion to one's teacher is the lifeblood of the Vajrayana path. Because the guru can and will use whatever means it takes to wake us up, this relationship may require us to drop our most deeply held beliefs and expectations. Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse addresses some of the most misunderstood aspects of this powerful relationship and gives practical 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.

A modern way to present the view, Dharma, Buddha’s teaching.

Read this before you take a guru and understand clearly what you're about to do, including all the risks and benefits.

The narrator sometimes becomes very hoarse and struggles with Tibetan pronunciation, but otherwise good.

The best book you could read on guru devotion
