Tips for finding a teacherFinding a good guru, or teacher, is very important in the West.Oriental spiritual schools have been arriving since after the second world war, thatīs when globalization really began, and cultures spilled out of their geographic localtions. Yogananda, Sivananda, Osho, and several Japanese and Korean zen masters all arrived in the early fifties. The first thing to take into account, based on the Japanese respect for "lineage", is where the teacher comes from. Who is his teacher, and that teacherīs teacher? Get the pedrigree, so to speak, find out who they are. Many bad surprises cam be avoided if we take a look back there and see where they come from. Namasté... Blessings. |
