Faith and Fervent Devotion

“We need to understand the distinction between faults and noble wisdom qualities.  When we do, then we can recognize our master’s noble wisdom qualities and perceive our master as Buddha.  If, with that kind of confidence, we then practice guru yoga even just a little bit, nothing more profound is needed.  Merely by praying to and meditating upon the master, you too will awaken as Buddha. On the basis of faith and fervent devotion, it will happen.”  ~Dudjom Rinpoche III
