The teachings of the Gyu Lü teach us how we can overcome the layers of illusion to see our true self. For this we need to be aware of how much we are influenced by our emotions. For us illusions and emotions, both happy and make unhappy. For example, if someone says something negative about us, it hurts. It is the concept of self that makes us react this way.

The practice of emptiness is the only way to recognize the illusions of existence and to free themselves of positive and negative emotions.

The teachings of the Gyu Lü teach us how we separate from concepts and overcome the layers of illusions about it. If we reduce our personal illusions as to our selves, we destroy all the illusions and realize our true self, the Buddha nature.

Through Guru Yoga we set our hearts and minds in the right way so that we receive the teachings as purely as possible.

Guru Yoga is the root of Tantrayana practice. Whatever practice we are doing, Guru Yoga will empower our practice. The reason for this is devotion. The cultivation of devotion is not for the benefit of the teacher. It is us, the students, that benefit from devotion. The cultivation of pure love and devotion opens our hearts, clears our minds of delusion, and reduces our ego. This is the way to truly receive a teaching.

If we come to a teaching from a place of ego-pride, we may not hear it correctly, or we may misunderstand. It may be the perfect teaching, given by the perfect teacher, but with ego-pride, it will not help. Guru Yoga enables us to come from a place of devotion and connection.

In Buddhism, the connection between the student and the teacher is very important. Although we all contain Buddha-nature, we are often not capable of recognizing it. We need a teacher, a guru, to guide this realization within us. The teacher introduces us to ourselves. This connection is the key. We can read a book, but a book cannot read us. A good teacher reads us, and holds up a mirror so that we can see ourselves.

Guru Yoga helps us to cultivate pure motivation and deep devotion for the teacher and the teaching. This, more than anything, will help us to receive the most benefit from our practices. It also enables the wisdom and realization of the Lama to melt within our mind. It is not sufficient to carry the seed of Buddha-nature in us. We need faith and devotion, so that our Lama can transfer blessings upon us.
