In Tibetan Buddhism, the foundation of our practice is not a belief, a text, or a ritual – but a teacher. The importance of a teacher really can’t be over-emphasized. At the most basic level, because Buddhism is a practice-based psychology, the role of the teacher is like that of the golf coach, the piano teacher or the driving instructor – to show us how it’s done. How to meditate. How to live mindfully between sessions. How to apply Buddhist teachings to the life in which we find ourselves, in such a way that we may let go of suffering and cultivate wellbeing.
