The Dalai Lama. (news photo, 2009)
All of us seem to need teachers.
And some teachers are wiser than others--but I think that all of us-- and the teachers too-- are just human beings after all--with the same problems of biology and psychology--all born into some historic time to live as well (and as happily, as the above teacher suggests!) as we can.
All of us are walking this maze of life and we should "rub each other's shoulders" as Herman Melville said instead of quarreling and fighting.
Some will believe this and some will believe that--but maybe even the wisest of us doesn't know much more than the dumbest dumbquot.
If a teacher is truly wise, she or he will certainly know that!
