Study cycle on the book: Does the guru drink bourbon?
Lama Tsering will lead this study cycle on Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche's book, which addresses various aspects of the teacher-student relationship through many stories and classic examples, always emphasizing the importance of devotion to the teacher.
The meetings include reading the text, comments by Lama Tsering, and question and answer sessions.
“Choosing a guru and making the decision to follow him to enlightenment is as precarious, exciting, rewarding, and destructive as falling in love and getting married. You know it's risky, but that's exactly what breaks us in half and opens us up.”
Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche
