I am looking forward to the dharma teachings. Why is there a need to attend teachings? One of my gurus whom I respect alot, His Holiness 101st Gaden Tripa Rinpoche, said:
"The sun is always there, but a piece of paper does not burn up despite being under the sun. Sparks can only be created in the paper by the aid of a magnifying glass, as it concentrates the heat of the sun onto the paper.
"The sun is always there, but a piece of paper does not burn up despite being under the sun. Sparks can only be created in the paper by the aid of a magnifying glass, as it concentrates the heat of the sun onto the paper.
By the same logic, despite being exposed to the Buddhadharma, sparks can only be created by the guidance of the Guru as the teacher concentrates the blessings of the Three Jewels onto you"
