Devotion on Spiritual & Buddhist Path, (Buddhism 101), Tenzin Palmo

#Devotion is often taken as a virtue as well as a means to progressing on the Path but when is it appropriate and what should give immediate cause for concern? Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo describes how many people relate to devotion to spiritual teachers and preconditions for that to be a useful pursuit. She is one of the Western pioneers of Tibetan #Buddhism.

[@johnsouza001]

One should watch this 10 times rather than getting 10 initiations

[@DharmaTime-is-now]

We have a playlist of videos with Jetsunma where she gives totally brilliant and authentic responses in each one. Getting to interview her was a real privilege.

[@robertrobertson9934]

Thank you.very helpful in as much as i can be helped. What role does merit play in the connections we are able to make with authentic lamas ?

[@DharmaTime-is-now]

That’s a good question. I once asked Alan Wallace about merit and he had a helpful explanation. From what I understand about it, various kinds of virtuous actions contribute to developing merit which enhances receptivity and beneficial circumstances (auspicious coincidence or tendrel). Receptivity is at the heart of benefiting from exposure to teachers and as Tenzin Palmo describes, if ones mind is all over place, there won’t be receptivity. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKO8iX5ooL6Ces0

[@DharmaTime-is-now]

There are some other Alan Wallace clips on the channel that might be of interest

[@robertrobertson9934]

Thank you for taking the time to reply. I will contemplate carefully your words and those in the video
