Budha

Dear Baldev Anand,

Thank you for your question. In order to find a qualified Guru, we must ensure that we study the Guru’s qualities, qualifications and achievements. Once you have done this, you can make the decision to take this person as your Guru.

There are many ways these days to find a qualified Guru. For example you can search the internet for a Dharma centre near you. This is a good way to start. Once you make a connection with this centre, the Guru there will be able to guide you on the path.

I, myself, actually stumbled across His Eminence the 25th Tsem Rinpoche’s blog online. After reading and studying the Dharma from the blog, I visited his Dharma organisation – Kechara Buddhist Organisation. From that moment onwards i considered His Eminence to be my Guru and have been fortunate to be able to serve him now as a Kechara Pastor.

You can find His Eminence’s blog site here: http://www.tsemrinpoche.com. I hope this helps.

Thank you.
