This month's question:

Do we really need a Master to follow the path or can we do it alone?

…………………………..

In this podcast:

• What is it that we seek from the Buddha's teachings? Specifically what is it that we suffer from?
• Putting down 'good roots' as a valid path in Buddhism - The path of the laity.
• A problem may arise that calls us to go deeper - Hakuin Ekaku and the fire sermon
• Delusion means 'I' cannot see -why we need a representative of Buddha to guide us
• Can we do it alone? Buddha's period in the forest. There is aspect where training is oneself.
• Over reliance on the teacher can also be a mistake.
