Again quoting from dharma texts, in this third part of his talk on guru devotion Rinpoche makes clear why the faults of the guru are due to our own misperceptions. It is our own mistakes that appear in the guru’s actions. The buddhas manifest according to the needs and capacity of sentient beings. They appear as animals to other animals, show aspects of fear or whatever is needed to guide them. In the same way they appear to us according to our own karma. We should abandon the view of a mistaken guru like poison, as it destroys all the future happiness. Turning out mind around and looking only at the qualities, recognising faults as our own misperception frees us from all delusions. Forever. This video was extracted from a teaching that was recorded in Black Mountain, United States on September 1, 2017. Find out more about #LamaZopaRinpoche at http://www.fpmt.org
