In Diamond Way Buddhism the direct contact between a teacher and a disciple is of a great importance. The teacher, the student and the process of learning are one totality which makes development possible. The teacher is a source of inspiration, he gives methods and confirms the student's progress on the path. He helps to overcome our weaknesses and limitations and to dissolve wrong, stiff ideas which block us from recognizing the natural state of our mind: freedom, openness, limitless joy and a compassionate activity. The teacher is neither a person nor a god. He is rather a direct reflection of the realization of the student's enlightened qualities.
