Most likely someone who thinks, “I don’t need an outer guru; I am my own master, just like the Buddha said,” is oversimplifying the Buddha’s words. If you look carefully, all the great practitioners who may have said “I am my own master” also had gurus. Even Shakyamuni Buddha had Dipamkara, and Guru Padmasambhava had the eight vidyadharas. They never denied it.
