The following question was recently addressed to the teachers in the Sangha Live community forum: Do you have any advice about how best to interact directly with a teacher, e.g. in one-on-one meetings during a retreat or even in the question period during daily practice? When I’m given the chance to meet with a teacher, I sometimes feel awkward and don’t know what to say. It seems important not to miss the opportunity. How should students be thinking about questions for the teacher?
This is a wonderful question that is very relevant to everyone’s meditation practice. In this post, I’ve laid out a few important guidelines that address the spirit and context of the above question.
