Why Do You Need A Guide? | The Inner Guide Q&A

Do we actually need a Guide or a Teacher?
This sermon describes a valuable story about how ego can ruin your life. It is human nature to think that we don’t need advice or instructions from our parents and teachers, once we gain knowledge and success. However, we should never forget our roots as our parents and teachers are the ones who guided us initially.
Did you know that even the Supreme Buddha didn’t think it was correct to live without the guidance of a teacher? So always be grateful and humble, and be happy that you have someone to look up to in this life.
