Beware of Celebrity Teachers | June 12, 2014
Western people who really want to study
Buddhism should not follow celebrities. Of course, His Holiness the
Dalai Lama is a great master. And of course people can receive his
teachings. That’s no problem. But if somebody wants to be a good
student, they might look for a learned teacher, and among the learned
lamas, one that has renounced.
