Summary

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.

Indispensable listening for Buddhist practitioners of Tantra

The title of this book put me off reading it for years. Now, I realise what a mistake that was. Essential reading not just for modern day practitioners but also for all Tibetan teachers and Himalayan practitioners too. Complement it with 'Poison is Medicine' which is like a sequel.
