Your Holiness here again Lafayette from Brazil,
erased from Facebook without warning last december, said because of the nick ‘Beto Moreira’, now my actual registered name (born 12/12/1959) is Lafayette Coutinho Moreira ! What was I doing wrong? or so it seems, very wrong?
Anyway, again and again as I learned from the endless repetition of Tibetan spiritual exercises , back I am under your feet asking for blessings ! In twitter as @fogodoeon,
yours dearly Lafayette.
Just in case, I will adore getting the Book, my mail adress:
Lafayette Coutinho Moreira, ‘Fazenda Meu Sossego’,
Canavieiras, 45860.000 Estado da Bahia, Brazil.
If you please excuse me from some error, still hiring time in public cybercafes, hard to do research ‘all of a sudden’…!

Thanks Bruce, I received your mailing details, finger crossed!
Great! We have 42 winners now! It means only 20 copies left, but I cannot announce the winners until all 62 winners are confirmed….
For those who did not email me your mailing address and contact, please do so now regardless you are the winner or not. We cannot send the book to you even though you are the winner and we might give the book to others who provide their address…
I’m very fortunate to attend the 3days teaching by Rinpoche. We are so scared to be slave of our Guru, in fact, Rinpoche helped me to realise that a Guru teaches us how to be independent, not to be his/hers slave.
Read it and you will find more treasures there. if you do not have a copy, answer at the comment section now.
Exciting! Good Luck!

I am also one of the fortunate ones invited to attend the 3 day historical teachings.
To sum up, everything which we NEED to know about relational and practical Buddhism , making a connection with a Lama/Guru , having correct views and attitudes about one’s centre / being in one or even starting a centre with correct motivation and purpose – it is all there in Gurus for Hire.
For those who have taken Refuge , this book will stabilise and
increase one’s faith in the Guru as embodiment of the 3 jewels.
For those who are on the path, this book will ensure we are practicing correctly. Only a real Guru can lead us to real or true paths. Don’t just buy one, after reading I am sure like me, you will want to buy dozens to give to others for any occasion.
I read the Chinese translated version of Guru for Hire, which is 《遇见上师之后》 in Chinese. It’s a very very nice book explaining in details everything about Guru-disciple relationship, how does a Guru help so you can transform more within a short period etc. It’s a very precious teaching. I like the the Q&A part especially.
If you would like to share the book with Chinese speaking friends, please grab it! It’s available at all Kechara Paradise outlets!!

This teaching was given for 3 days and 3 nights. All those attended did not know what to expect. It was only by invitation and we were all squeezed in to a the living area of double story house. When I think back now, I cannot believe we did it! We slept very little, up the next day to continue the marathon! Although tired, when Rinpoche was teaching we paid full attention and there was no hiccups. It was like a real retreat.
All our questions, thoughts, doubts we ever had about a “Guru”, a Buddhist centre, the students, the people, the politics, what to do, what not to do…all was being addressed by Rinpoche directly out in the open. Rinpoche’s teaching was not only direct but like always Rinpoche makes it funny while stating the obvious using logic.
This book/teaching is priceless because it is ever green, a very important book for not just beginners on the path but everyone, even senior students. Whether you are wondering about a spiritual path or is already in Dharma, this teaching can be applied to all, at all levels. The best part is you can even use this book as a basis or a guideline for you to start your own centre/group if you have that in mind.
Thank you Rinpoche for this precious teaching that gave conviction to so many in the Dharma and will continue to do so now and in to the future.
And here is also a chance to go back in time, like you were present with us there during this teaching by getting the DVD here http://vajrasecrets.com/gurus-for-hire-enlightenment-for-sale.html

This teaching was the first marathon teaching I had ever attended and even today it’s still giving soo much benefit to everyone worldwide.
Its for ALL Buddhists everywhere, whatever sect, whatever you go through you will go through what Rinpoche teaches in this book.
Perhaps you were in Dharma but something or someone came along that affected you to give up. This will ground you in what it really means to be in Dharma, to practice Dharma, to be in a Dharma center, to have a Guru, to take refuge.
Take a read, it covers all the things a Dharma Book shouldn’t talk about openly but Rinpoche likes to tell it like it is if you haven’t noticed yet.
Those who can’t read or prefer the real thing the DVD set is just as good!
Good luck people, I think there are a few winners already judging by the response.

Rinpoche always give out dharmma gifts for others to learn dharmma and this way of giving a quiz and you get something in return is very seldom. Anyway Question 4 is very intresting, Rinpoche have a few gurus who will it be? Very easy but hard to answer question good luck….
”Gurus For Hire, Enlightenment For Sale’ is a really good book by Tsem Tulku Rinpoche. Everything you need to know about GURU DEVOTION is in there. The book will definitely benefit you and everyone else around you.
Personally, I have read this blog a couple of times and each time I read it I gain more and more knowledge. Reading this book not only improves our relationship with our Guru but also with everyone else around us. For the very basic, when we respect our Guru, we will automatically respect the people around us as well.
Sorry guys, I meant ‘BOOK’ not ‘blog’ in the second paragraph
