Now we are beginning to awaken, to recall the dream, and to remember who we really are. To bring that dream into reality, to help create a Paradise on Earth, we need to share it and that can't be done by isolating ourselves away from the mainstream of life. If you are truly a seeker of enlightenment, seek within for the wisdom that comes not in words. To 'kill the Buddha' means to rid yourself of the illusion that you need an outside source to give you enlightenment. No-one, in this world or the next, can bestow enlightenment upon you.
True illumination can only arise from within.
A teacher who is truly wise will not seek to exert power over you, but to help you empower yourself. You can benefit, especially in the early stages of development, from the help of others who can shine some light on your pathway until you are confident of your own light. However, the aim of all wise teachers must always be to work themselves out of a job, by helping their students reach a point where they no longer need the teacher's help. When yo are ready to fly on your own wings, those who are truly wise will not attempt to hold you bound to them in any way. In fact they will actively discourage you from holding onto them.
