My Root Guru

🙏🙏🙏

So many buddhas have come and gone, yet you have neither met them, nor have they talked to you, or at least, you have not understood.

But this guru - this buddha - has talked to you, upset you, disappointed you, hurt your pride, and all. And since that is what you need, there you have it.

Theorically, this is why the guru is so important.
