Lineage, Root and Heart Lamas

.






QUESTION: What are the three kinds of Teachers?
ANSWER:
#1 Your Root Teacher – is simply the
Lama or Lamas who instruct you during this life…

#2 your Lineage Teachers – are your root teacher’s teachers, and
their teachers and so on, and so on, all the way back to the Buddha.



#3 Heart Teachers – of all the root teachers that we’re
exposed to directly and indirectly, our heart teacher is the one who
shapes our spiritual evolution most profoundly and
consequentially we feel a great gratitude for them that is
spontaneous and uncontrived.



Our heart teacher is NOT just some teacher that we think is:
• handsome,
• charming,
• charismatic,
• popular, or
• funny.

Nope, he’s someone who’s given us actual teachings, and
not only did we apply his instructions to our lives enthusiastically and daily but
when we did they
bore dramatic fruit.



Remember, Christ taught that you shall know a tree by it’s fruit.
Paul the apostle later explained that those fruits included:
• love,
• peace,
• joy,
• kindness, and
• goodness.

So receive your Lama’s teachings,
apply his instructions twice a day, every day and then you’ll
be just as fruity as you want to be!
