Characteristics Of Lojong Meditation Teachers

By Sarah Gibson


Spiritual well-being is one of the things that human beings will require for them to have some peace of mind. When something bothers them, therefore, they can opt for meditation to try to relax. However, not everyone knows how to do it. Sometimes it will require being taught and guided by a good Lojong meditation expert who possesses some of the following standard traits.

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.

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.

There is a need to set goals in life. They may include what you want to achieve as an individual or what you want your learners to achieve at the end of the session or the entire training period. With goals, one can focus and be determined as they must be aware of what they need to accomplish at the end of the day. Without goals, there is a lot of time wasted.

There are professions which require a high level of determination. The commitments and sacrifices required by persons working in the spiritual docket for instance cannot be repaid by any amount of money. This is a hard calling and to survive one should have passion for what they believe in as they may be required to make voluntary services and if one is driven by money they will probably give up.

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.

It is wrong to criticize what other people believe in. The leaders are involved in convincing new people to join their doctrine. While some think that criticizing other religions makes theirs look better, a big number of people feel that this is undermining other people and being narcissist. Other methods of attracting people into your stand should hence be considered to avoid this kind of misunderstanding.

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.
