8. Inevitable Meeting-Necessity of Teacher
[ A tree from Bryce Canyon]
He could feel deep into his heart that it was not easy to do practice without any teacher or master. He had such a deep longing for a spiritual master, that his longing pierced his heart to the bone. He worried that he might be dead or crazy, and he was concerned about why he had struggles which normal people didn’t. He longed to have his own teacher. He wanted to know if his practice was going well or not. But there was no one who could give him an answer about that. His heart’s desire made him to do “100 days prayers”. But even 100 days later, he couldn’t find his teacher. With deep disappointment, he continued his practice and waited. One day when he finished his work, he saw a poster “Dahnhak Open Seminar” on his way home. He thought that might be a good chance to find his teacher and have an answer for his questions. He asked to have his day off from his work, took a bath and went to the Seminar three hours early. There was no one there except him. He did his practice while he waited. The staff came to the Seminar location and started to prepare. Finally, the Seminar began.
