Guest guest Posted September 5, 2002 Report Share Posted September 5, 2002 - Gill Eardley Spiritual Friends Thursday, September 05, 2002 5:28 AM [spiritual-friends] True Master I always think that to be able to look into the eyes of one true Master is worth one hundred years studying His doctrine, His teaching. In Him you have a direct example of enlightenment, of life, while in others you have only a shadow, which may help you also, but not directly. As the Buddha says, "My doctrine is only a raft helping to bring you over to the other shore, not ultimate reality; you shouldn't worship it."
