I think Palzang specifically means in the tradition of Vajrayana, not the 'general' path, BF....
The big problem for me specifically, is that I'm really not sure which tradition beckons to me most strongly.... and the second is to find the most apposite and relevant Teacher.
So whilst I will not disagree with anything you have put forward Palzang, from my perspective, at present, I have only this choice, or nothing at all.
But I'm not complaining.
You're exactly right, Fede. While having a teacher may not seem particularly critical in other traditions, you can't do Vajrayana without one because the main practice is devotion, guru yoga.

Buddhafoot don't you mean is there a point to all of this ?

That, without a teacher, you would be better off doing nothing than starting on this path without a teacher.
Other than that, I was just blathering, my friend.

Perhaps you could save time by not participating threads you find "pointless." :winkc:
