"Beware of teachers who say they are self-taught. They have mythologized themselves.
Just continue to meditate on the thought: who is my teacher? — and let yourself be guided.
When I met Maezumi Roshi I lived three states away. I attended a retreat not to meet a teacher (Lord, no!) but just to get instruction in how to sit. So imagine my surprise and deep recognition when I saw him standing in front of me. Right in front of you is the only place you’ll ever find your teacher."
