Question asked by Khang
Tashi Deleg Pastors!
I have questions about one situations:
I hope you can make me understand this.
I'm not so lucky that I can't be stay near to my Guru and therefore, it's quite difficult for me to consulte with my Guru's about my own problems in need.
One day, I have request one Lama to perfom Mo for my problems and it's come out that I need to do various practices such as Tara, Prajnaparamita sutra, Protector daily to solve my problems. So I did it for a while until lucky for me and very moving for me that one of my friend visited my Master and from friend that i can contact with my Guru and I had been consult with Him again about my problems. And my precious Guru advices me should focus in Guru Yoga Migtsema and Lord Dorje Shugden.
For sure is my faith in my Guru never shaking and I will follow His instructions all the way.
It's just one things that I concern about this is Mo result from the Lama who is perform Mo for me and what I should do with it now?
Could I stop Mo advices from this Lama to focus in what's things should do from my root Guru advices me?
Do these effect me anything?
Thank you so much.
Dear Khang,
Thank you for your question. If your problems have been lessened through the practices advised through divination, then it is okay to stop unless the lama gave specific instructions on how many mantras, prayers, you should do and for how long you should do it. Usually divinations for problems will come back with certain practices to do until the problem is over, or for a certain amount of mantras or recitations to be completed. You can check back the results you got from that lama.
If your precious guru has asked you to concentrate on Lama Tsongkhapa’s practice and Dorje Shugden, then that should be your main practice. If in doubt, you can contact your guru and tell him about having received divinations results from the previous lama and ask him what you should do, if you need to continue those practices, etc.
I hope this helps. Thank you.
