Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And if it is available, the physical \Npresence of a teacher is available,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so that has to be given preference.

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but it is very rare because some \Npeople say, 'I have never seen the Buddha,

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is only an illusion \Nbecause when you think,
