Fundamental Essentials of a Tantric Practitioner Dr. Yutang Lin
Disciple Hai Han asked me to expound on this topic, and hence I mentioned the key points as follows:
1. Bodhicitta Sincerely aspire to help all sentient beings attain enlightenment sooner, and hence devote oneself to Dharma practices. 2. Renouncing Worldly Engagements Without leaving worldly engagements behind, there is no way to concentrate on Dharma practices and activities, and consequently one will achieve nothing. 3. Following Guru If one has the opportunity to be received as a disciple by a virtuous Guru, then one should do one's best to attend and follow the Guru. 4. Perpetual Endeavor Without constant and continuous endeavors, there will be no fruits eventually. 5. Solid Practices Daily engage in Dharma practices according to Guru's instructions. Do not try this and that from time to time as one's interests switch.
If one can abide by the key points mentioned above, then one would become a genuine Tantric practitioner, and could be expected to benefit many people in the long run.
