motivations , intentions ...

voici quelques citations de Jamgon Kongtrul Lodro Thaye Rinpoche (piqué sur un site anglophone bien connu) que j'ai trouvé interessantes pour bien comprendre nos motivations dans la recherche d'un maitre . Je les ai mise dans la section générale car elles ne s'appliquent pas au BT spécialement . C'est en anglais désolé :
...it is difficult to recognize an authentic teacher, because these qualities are internal. We can not depend upon external factors, but external factors are what we see. It is very difficult to see the inner qualities of another person.
...Am I seeking a teacher in order to attain enlightenment for the benefit of all sentient beings, or am I seeking to fulfill my need to acquire the prestige associated with a famous teacher, or am I merely attracted to a lama's beautiful retreat land or the social scene of a hip sangha, and so on.
These motivations need to be acknowledged if we are to recognize an authentic wisdom teacher, because the teacher you find is related to your karma, and your karma is intimately connected to your motivation.
Fortunately, there are methods that help us purify our motivation and create the proper conditions for finding a wisdom teacher, such as bringing our awareness to our motivations as much as possible, doing daily meditation practice".
