Re: [FairfieldLife] "Teacher-bashing" (was Re: Dope, or not?)

And interestingly enough, so does the corollary. Many of the strongest True Believers have purpose- fully maintained their distance from the teacher *so that* they can preserve the idealized vision of him or her that they have in their minds.  They don't *want* to get close, because they might see something that interferes with that vision.  Unc ----And also the opposite is true, where some gurus are very humble and simply acknowledge thier fallable personalities. I have mentioned this a few times. One lama who is very fallable fills me with bliss all the time, whereas another who is so very perfect and distant leaves me dry. it takes all types. Some people have huge and insatiable egos which cannot be tamed except through their believing in "the only real one."
