Title: Deeds, Not Words
Review: Surya Das is obviously a convincing teacher, and in this he does good. And unfortunately, as Gurdjieff noted, the cheif trait of human beings is their gullability. While Tibetan Buddhism is an extraordinary path of spiritual unfoldment, and there are scores of remarkable teachers and realized beings in this tradtion, Surya Das himself is anything but. He is a hypster, of whom most of his Tibetan teachers are ashamed. Though he capitalizes on their identities all over his web site, they are too polite (Tibetan style) to beg him to remove them from any association with him. He was a laughing stock among his peers in his training days, and now holds himself as a self-styled guru. While he may help begginers, he ultimately dissapontts as a hypocrite whose inner world really revolves around self-agrandisement. Read teachers like Tenzin Wangyal or so many other lamas who speak from experience, not cleverness.
