Characteristics Of Lojong Meditation Teachers

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.

Every religious leader has a full understanding of the doctrine they are involved in. They had had years of experience since most of them joined the religion when they were young children. Through the various stages of learning, it is possible that they can explain everything without referring to religious books, making the learners have more confidence in them.

Religious leaders are sought after in regulating the behaviour of people in the society. Whether one is involved in guiding small children or adults, ensuring that they practice what they teach will set a good example. For instance, a teacher who tells the learners about the importance of politeness must try their best not too rude to others.

Life goals are important as they keep every person focused. People who do not have goals do not seem to understand what they want in life hence they will not be working hard enough. Spiritual teachers have goals set both for their learners and for themselves. Sometimes learners are not equal hence the need to set goals with each one of them to help them improve.

One thing that makes one successful in their career is their passion for their work. Religious service is hard, and it requires someone who can endure all the challenges without giving up. One should understand that no amount of money can be enough to compensate the kind of sacrifices one has to make and hence has to be driven by something else which is passion.

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.

A good spiritual leader does not criticize the beliefs of other people. They are aware that in the group they are guiding there are different people from different backgrounds. Focusing on the religious doctrines without talking ill of others is hence recommended. This is because in case there are unconverted people present, they might feel that your doctrine is discriminatory.

Learners are different, and while some understand things faster, others take time before they can be perfect in their skills. Guiding a beginner in meditation can prove to be a challenge as there are a lot of things they need to learn both theoretically and practically. The teacher needs a lot of patience for them to cope with such students without getting annoyed.
