#LamaZopaRinpoche beautifully elaborates on the importance of having a guru, reciting from 'Calling the guru from afar'. Granting a glimpse of Highest Yoga Tantra explanations, Rinpoche explains the true meaning of 'guru', the ultimate guru, the blissful nature of your own mind.The outer guru just guides us to eventually meet this inner guru. So it is of utter importance to first study Dharma and on the basis of that understanding search a qualified guru and thoroughly check on him. Once you accepted him as your guru you strictly follow his advice and as Kadampa Geshe Chengawa said: 'Even if you have an intellect like a pig one can quickly become like Manjushri by fully developing faith to the guru.'
