A spiritual teacher

He is the great vessel that carries beings across the ocean of life;
He is the unerring captain who guides them to the land of liberation;
He is the rain that extinguishes the fire of passion.
Like the brilliance of the sun and the moon,
He rips away the darkness of ignorance;
The weight of good and evil at the same time.
Like a father and a mother, he loves all beings with the same love.
A great river of compassion,
A mountain soaring above all earthly concerns,
Unshaken by the winds of emotion,
To make any connection with him,
Whether by seeing him,
Hearing his voice,
Remembering him or being touched by his hand will lead us towards liberation.
To have full confidence in him is the best way to progress towards enlightenment.
The warmth of his wisdom and compassion will melt the ore of our being
And release the gold of Buddha-nature within.
