Blessed Ones are Few

Yutang Lin

Addressing as "Guru" is easy but listening to is hard;
One statement unacceptable would lead to disappearance.
Serving with diligence and learning constantly in attendance,
Only then could be blessed with Grace to turn into a dragon.

Comment:

After having practiced Tantra for years, one is often conveniently called by worldly people as "Guru." However, advices given are mostly hard to be accepted. Often one word disagreeable would lead to disappearance forever. In fact, a real practitioner of Tantra should serve and learn from a virtuous Guru by constant attendance. Only then could it be possible for the student to receive the blessings of the lineage as transmitted through the Guru, and to understand thoroughly the fine instructions in details. Thereby it could be expected that realization of attainment will be achieved to help salvage sentient beings.
