Traits Of A Lojong Meditation Expert

By Sarah Gibson


Human beings experience both high and low moments. Sometimes it is important for one to boost their spirits when they feel they are at their lowest. Meditating is one good way of doing so with the assurance that at the end of the session one will feel at peace. Lojong meditation teachers guide beginners on how to do it successfully. They possess several universal qualities.

Spiritual leaders have gone through various levels of learning from childhood to adulthood which makes them to have a deep knowledge about their doctrines. Some have further gone to spiritual schools of higher learning to increase their knowledge and hence when they are guiding their learners, they are very sure of the information they convey, even without using reference books.

The main aim of spiritual teachers and leaders is to nurture responsible members of the society. This is all about instilling good morals in them by the doctrines of the particular religion. To be able to have the learners to comply with your teachings it is essential to set a good example. This way they will not have doubts about you or what is required of them.

Setting goals in every activity being undertaken by an individual is a good way to instill focus in them. For instance a teacher without any goals for his learners will not even have a plan on what they are going to work on in a certain lesson. The result of this will be students who understand the doctrine in incomplete bits with some of the most crucial details being left out without their knowledge.

Teaching is a calling that is driven by the passion one has for something. Someone who wants others to understand the religion will do it not because of a reward they will receive at the end of a day but because of passions they have for the work. Doing something for money may disappoint someone as they might be required to offer voluntary guidance in some cases.

It is important the leader has a good relationship with his subjects. When a learner is close to their teacher, they feel appreciated, and they will want to do the right thing for them to make the teacher appreciate them even more. If he is too harsh on them, they may never learn anything. They will tend to give up instead and look for other options.

Criticizing others exposes the weaknesses someone has. As a teacher, it is important for you to concentrate on what your religion says or expects of you. Convincing someone on the good things about your beliefs is what is going to make them decide if they want to follow you or not. Criticizing what they already believe in will, however, make them have a change of thoughts on what you stand for.

One has to be patient in whatever area they are teaching. A person guiding young children will require being patient with them as they make the same mistakes from time to time. Beginners too will require a patient teacher who is ready to guide them step by step in all the areas of the doctrine without getting tired. This will help the learners to capture every detail fed to them.
