Episode Details

Lama Zopa Rinpoche continues teaching on refuge, emphasizing how important it is to not belittle the guru with whom you have made a Dharma connection. Quoting the Fifth Dalai Lama, Rinpoche explains that what you see as mistakes by the guru are actually your own mistakes. Instead, you should see all that the guru does as positive. You should also be very careful about from whom you take refuge. Rinpoche illustrates this with cautionary stories and warning about practicing Dogyal. Rinpoche also offers a translation of the Mahayana Sutra Called “Going for Refuge to the Arya Three Rare Sublime Ones.” Read more about his teaching here.
