New course “The Spiritual Teacher” starting next week

Rely on the message of the teacher, not on his personality;
Rely on the meaning, not just on the words;
Rely on the real meaning, not on the provisional one;
Rely on your wisdom mind, not on your ordinary, judgmental mind.

/The Buddha/

There is little progress we would make on any topic – from learning to brush our teeth to learning mathematics or playing a piano – without having a teacher to instruct us, to keep us inspired and on track. Dealing with our mind is no different. On our spiritual journey we must learn a lot and then put the learnings into practice, in order to develop our immense potential for happiness, love and compassion. The advantages of having a teacher to guide us through this complex journey are countless.

At the same time there are many misconceptions about reliance on a guru. In the course, which we are starting next Tuesday, we will be looking at the reasons for wanting to have a spiritual teacher, the qualities to look for in a teacher, the qualities of a student, and how to relate to a teacher to achieve the greatest benefit in one’s spiritual life. We will also consider the challenges we face when thinking of entering into a “guru-disciple” relationship and learn how to overcome these skillfully. The course will last until April.
