Spiritual Teachers

It is not easy to find a genuine teacher to guide you on your spiritual path. But it is said that when the student is ready, the teacher will appear. Until then, we should depend on ourselves. However, we might not actually need a teacher because teachers are already everywhere. All we need is to be more observant, to pay more attention and be aware of what’s happening around us.

The Buddha himself didn’t have a teacher. He gained enlightenment on his own. If we persevere, and believe in ourselves, we can and will surely gain enlightenment too. Besides, we already have the Teachings of the Buddhas and the sages to guide us. Let them be our guides, our teachers.

Like the Buddha.. we should look around us and be observant because everything in the world is ready to teach us. With even a little intuitive wisdom, we will then be able to see clearly through the ways of the world. We will come to understand that everything in the world is a teacher. Trees and vines, for example, can all reveal the true nature of reality. With wisdom there is no need to question anyone, no need to study. We can learn from nature enough to be enlightened... because everything follows the way of truth. It does not diverge from truth. - Ajahn Chah

You are your own teacher. Looking for teachers can't solve your own doubts. Investigate yourself to find the truth – inside, not outside. Knowing yourself is most important. - Ajahn Chah

Wherever you go you will find your teacher, as long as you have the eyes to see and the ears to hear. - Shunryu Suzuki
