Question 06: IN SPIRITUAL PRACTICE, WE GREATLY NEED THE GUIDANCE OF A SPIRITUAL TEACHER. IF WE CAN'T MAINTAIN CLOSE CONTACT WITH OUR TEACHER DUE TO VARIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES, HOW CAN WE RECEIVE TIMELY GUIDANCE WHEN DIFFICULTIES ARISE?Answer: The spiritual teacher we revere is likely to be a focus of attention and subject to various challenges, which may limit our opportunities for frequent contact. By reducing our direct interactions, we can help preserve our teacher's peace and minimize potential envy from others. It's advisable to discuss less critical matters with brethren, reserving only the most significant issues for our teacher's guidance. This consideration is important as many others also seek the teacher's counsel, and the collective impact of numerous small requests can be substantial. Although our direct contact may be limited, we should maintain a heart full of reverence for our teacher to nurture a lasting positive connection. If we allow our reverence to diminish, we risk gradually losing our spiritual link with the teacher, which would be detrimental to our practice.#Religions, #Buddhism, #Meditation, #Questionandanswers, #Religious, #Buddhist, #Truedharma, #Enlightement, #Buddhatemple, #TheLawofKarma, #BuddhismforBeginners, #Janna #Monastery, #JannaOrderMonastery, #PRACTICE, #GUIDE, #LAYPRACTITIONERS, #DialogueBuddhismReligions
