An enlightening, accessible, and highly entertaining guide to the guru-disciple relationship, the heart of Tibetan Buddhism.

Devotion to one’s teacher is the lifeblood of the Vajrayana path.
Because the guru can and will use whatever means it takes to wake us up,
this relationship may require us to drop our most deeply held beliefs
and expectations. Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse addresses some of the most
misunderstood aspects of this powerful relationship and gives practical
advice on making the most of this precious opportunity for
transformation. Through stories and classical examples, he shows how to
walk the path with eyes wide open, with critical-thinking skills
sharpened and equipped to analyze the guru, before taking the leap.
