The correct attitude towards the teacher is the cornerstone of spiritual practice. However, in the West, the very concept of “teacher” has been distorted over the last century, extremely mystified and needs to be cleansed. This is precisely what this book by A. Berzin is dedicated to. In addition to illuminating the foundations of the correct relationship between student and teacher, the author also examines the most complex aspects of this relationship, in particular the principle of treating the teacher as a Buddha. This is an extremely important topic, especially for those who have received tantric initiations and are trying to practice tantra.Original book: www.berzinarchives.com/web/x/nav/group.html_785322033.html
