Receiving The Teacher's Heat - 07-28-21 by Sokuzan - SokukoJi.org
from SokukoJi Buddhist Temple Monastery · host Sokuzan
Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche once said, “If you get too far away from the teacher you don’t get enough heat, and if you get too close to the teacher you get burned.” Just because you have the illusion that you have control of your thoughts, your emotions, your feelings, your life with some kind of goal, that does not mean that the true teacher is doing that. What is meant by receiving the teacher’s heat is just to receive: hot cold, lukewarm, receive everything. Give the teacher the benefit of the doubt. Once you have a teacher, your petty mind is going to have to take a back seat. It’s going to get difficult. This is not a mundane path of feeling better. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mtF2tDqLA0
