If those teachers have not cleaned up their own act, have not faced their own issues/samskaras the danger of their egos being huge is very much present. Personally, I believe that an active kundalini combined with many unresolved psychological problems can leave the teacher/guru actually unable to see how irrational they have become. This speaks of the core issue itself - teacher/guru found some techniques and, without the proper guidance, unleashed "energy voltage" and proceeds to pump him/herself up by presenting teachings. >> Dear Linda, l only set out a portion of your post (l'm such an economist), but l found that l resonated with everything you said. l've been slow in responding because of pc problems which have led me to stick to only very short posts. There is so much that can be said about this. As l've stated at other times, l looked to teachers (supposedly good ones) after my k awakened in 92 and for the most part received only poor guidance which caused problems from which l'm still suffering. ln general, l've found that supposed k gurus contradict each other in so many areas that l take it all with a grain of salt. For the past several years l've just avoided them and have experienced very slow but steady progress. l've encountered many experiencers who've had the same overall experience and have come to the same conclusion. So, l have to admit that l don't know of any teacher who l would trust with my process. l must add that l have heard of teachers who have helped people with *problems*, and l do believe that good ones are out there, but as you say, they're extremely rare. And l don't believe that even the best of them can smooth out everyone's k difficulties. For many of us, simply alot of nurturing and patience over a long period of time is required IMO. _________ Time is the greatest natural healer applies here too Jerrysan. Take comfort in this fact brother. Also see my comments below as to the current crisis in your Sangha. ______ l completely agree with your observations about the role unresolved psychological issues play with teachers and the manner in which they pump themselves up with teachings. Thanx for sharing your thoughts. From Mt Kailash, jerrysan rinpoche ( " The tulku's tulku." Palm Beach Quarterly February 30, 1984 ) ps: l appreciate your desire to see me walk on water. Due to current unrest among Sangha members, l'm keeping my siddhis under wraps for awhile. _______________ The True Devotees of the Sangha fully support you Jerrysan Rinpoche (The Tulku's Tulku). For us you walk on air and so walking on water is not needed! There has been some discussion in the "inner circle" about asking Reverend Jesse Jackson to meet with you and perhaps offer spiritual counseling. Would this be something of interest to you (only to smooth out public perceptions for a while). We will of course respect your decision to handle matters as you see fit and will look the other way when needed to avoid making you feel awkward and stuff like that. Holding up the Sangha in these difficult times of the information age Love Harsha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 17, 2001 Report Share Posted February 17, 2001 Dear Harshaji (and other loyal devotees), Thank you for your most recent missives in this time of tribulation. lf l had more like you, l would consider returning again to the samsaric realms. lt appears there are so many rascal gurus about that the real thing can no longer be recognized. As matters stand now, l've informed His Holiness that there may well not be a XXlVth Jerrysan Rinpoche, Lineage Holder Supreme! No matter. The Work will continue from the other side. Yours ln the Dharma, JR XXIV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yours ln the Dharma, JR XXIV ______________ Regardless of what anyone says and the various charges against you, we live for the opportunity to have the holy presence of your feet (and also to wash them with Dove soap). We hope that you will find the strength to continue the great work that has been initiated and benefit humanity with the fragrance of your wisdom. A few scandals is not a big price to pay we feel in the overall scheme of things. The loyal ones are holding up the Sangha despite daily revelations and allegations against the form of the Holy One.
