• In search of the right teacher

  
  The Zennist — Authority: 125
  Questions like, are you a certified teacher? seem almost tantamount to asking, where can I find a Buddha to teach me Buddhism?  The specific problem with this kind of question is that the asker is a worldling ( prithagjana ) which bluntly means the seeker is spiritually dumb, who cannot actually discern who is the ...
