Guru Yoga is the foundation of Tantrayana practice. Whatever our main practice, practicing Guru Yoga will empower us as we prepare our hearts and minds to receive the Dharma teachings in the purest possible way. In Buddhism, the student-teacher relationship is very important. Although we all have Buddha nature, we are often unable to recognize it. Without this realization our practice does not advance and we do not progress on the spiritual path. We need a qualified teacher, a lama, a guru, a realized master to guide this realization within us.
Our teacher or spiritual guide is the one who sincerely leads us along spiritual paths, sharing with us the right instructions, the right help, and for whom we feel inclined to feel great love and devotion. Our teacher introduces us to ourselves and this relationship on the Dharma path is essential! We can read a book, but a book cannot read us. A good teacher is able to read us, to put us in front of a mirror so that we can finally see ourselves. The great fuel to develop this level of achievement in our practice is devotion. Cultivating devotion does not benefit the master. It is we students who benefit from devotion. For devotion connects us to a very strong and pure love. Cultivating pure love and devotion opens our hearts, reduces our ego, frees our mind from illusion and mistakes. Only in this way will we be able to truly receive a teaching.
If we attend a teaching while maintaining the ego of pride, we will not hear correctly and may even misinterpret the teaching. We can receive the greatest and purest of teachings, from the greatest of masters, but with the ego of pride present, it will not help us at all. The practice of Guru Yoga helps us to cultivate pure motivation from deep devotion to the teaching and the teacher. It creates a foundation of devotion and connection with the master that helps us to receive the teachings in a deep and unequivocal way to empower and accelerate our practice, helps us to receive the benefit of the teachings and avoid negative karma. In addition to all the benefits that the practitioner can receive, the practice of Guru Yoga also allows all the wisdom and realization of the Lama to merge in our mind. It is not enough to carry the seed of Buddha nature within us, we must realize it. We need faith and devotion so that our Lama can directly impart his blessing to us and benefit us beyond what we are capable of doing for ourselves.
In this retreat we will have the great opportunity to connect with an authentic Tantrayana master. Tulku Lobsang Rinpoche will share with us the blessing of the master-student relationship.
