“There are many teachers who could ruin you. Before you know it you could be a pale copy of this teacher or that teacher. You have to evolve on your own.”
“You are your own teacher. Looking for teachers can’t solve your own doubts. Investigate yourself to find the truth - inside, not outside. Knowing yourself is most important.”
“No one knows what path you should follow except yourself. You are your own wise teacher. You are your own Guru.”
“When all the teachers are gone, who will be your teacher?The student replied: “Everything!Kobun, paused, then said: “No, you".”
“The best teacher is experience. Not by copying the answers off the kid sitting next to you...”
“Have you ever really had a teacher? One who saw you as a raw but precious thing, a jewel that, with wisdom, could be polished to a proud shine?”
