A teacher or mentor in the realm of Buddhism is one who has battled and triumphed over devilish functions. Disciples, meanwhile, learn the essentials of faith from the mentor so that they can begin to do the same. Buddhism as a teaching of the shared commitment of mentor and disciple is only complete when disciples respond to the mentor’s teaching and spur themselves to take action.
