There are three main ways to fulfill the wishes of the teacher. The best way is to put his instruction into practice, and spend your whole life experiencing the essence of the teachings and attaining realization. The second best way is to serve him with devoted body, speech, and mind. As you serve your teacher, your being will be transformed by his readily apparent qualities, just as a piece of ordinary wood in a sandalwood grove will gradually be permeated by the scent of the surrounding trees. The third way To please the teacher is to make material offerings to him.
