Shechen Rabjam Rinpoche: What is the Guru?
We explore the concept of Guru in Vajrayana Buddhism, within Eastern and Western perspectives. Drawing from Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche's letters and the practice of Guru Yoga, we discuss what it truly means to pray to one's teacher, how devotion differs from simple affection or love, and the relationship between the outer Guru and one's own inner Buddha nature. Rinpoche also shares his personal story of growing up with his grandfather, Kyabje Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, and how his own devotion evolved over time.
