Mensaje de Consejos desde Yongdzin Rinpoche a sus estudiantes occidentales

Gurú Yoga es muy importante para las personas que son practicantes. No esperes ver u oír algo como resultado de practicar Gurú Yoga, pero cuando practicas Gurú Yoga como lo haces normalmente con Tapihritsa o lo que normalmente visualizas – no cambies tu visualización demasiado rápido de una divinidad a otra – es muy importante practicar regularmente y visualizar con claridad.

Siempre es necesario tener esto en tu mente, regularmente.
