Devotion is the Main Cause for One to Only Think of the Guru
“To your question. My understanding for people who run here and there all the time but not want to sit down quietly to practice is not enough devotion because devotion is the main thing to make oneself to believe in the words of the guru and to think of the meanings deeply. It is also the main cause for the one to only think of the guru and his or her kindness and the requests from him or her.”
The Guru Sadhana of Orgyen, the Healing Guru
NAM MÔ! Con quy y Orgyen Dược Sư,/
nơi Hỉ Kiến Đông phương Tịnh độ./
Nguyện chúng sinh nhập đàn chữa lành,/
đồng viên thành quả Phật Dược Sư.
