【THE THREE TYPES OF PERSONS】- The teacher and the disciple to observe each other

So Lama Tsong-kha-pa mentioned: the teacher and the disciple must observe each other, this is not said by Tsong-kha-pa but it is based on the scriptures. If you are short of careful observation, and randomly engage in study, this violation applies to both teacher and disciple, neither one is doing it right. This is against the Dharma–in Tantric practice, precision is necessary! Once the practice is mistaken, you will never have the chance for attainment! So our random going for the initiation is just to plant the seeds! Does everyone understand: we always think that by planting the seed and apply the ritual, thus achievement becomes available. How absurd can this be! How wrong this is. This we all should pay attention to, pay absolutely attention. The teacher that you are to follow, never think that it is too long to observe him for more than ten years. At the least, follow him properly for three to five years, and then you can seriously talk about relying on this teacher.

道次引导 : 师弟间互相观察

所以宗喀巴大师这么说了，说老师跟那个弟子之间一定要互相观察—不是他说的唷！根据经论上面。如果不仔细观察，随随便便贸贸然去学的话，这个师、徒之间都违反了，都违反了。违反了法，密教的这个东西差一点都不行哦！一违反法，你绝不可能有成就！所以我们现在随随便便灌一个顶，那是结个缘哪！大家都不懂，总觉得结了个缘，修了这个法，就可以成就了，那颠倒得不得了啊！那不晓得错到哪里去了。这个大家千万注意，千万注意。你跟那个老师，不要说你观察到十几年哪不嫌多，你至少跟他好好地跟他三年、五年，那个时候才是真正地可以说谈这个。
