Guru

In a meditation session, a story was shared of a young ordained monk during the Buddha's time. 
He was asked by an Arhat disciple of Buddha who had thought that young people should have alot of desires and unsettled mind  to meditate on corpses to curb desires.
However, he was unable to meditate well and thinking that the path is not for him wanted to give up the renounciation life. The Buddha knew and guided him to meditate on the lotus in the pond instead. By watching the reflection of the sun rays reflected on the lotus, he quickly settled down and even attained Arhathood.
The Buddha had known that the young monk in his previous life was a Goldsmith so he settles down better with gold items. The reflection of sun rays on the lotus is like gold and hence enhanced his cultivation. 

Hence, meeting the right teacher who knows one for guidance is important. 
How I wish I could meet a good teacher to guide me correctly and help improve my cultivation.
However,  it is just that I had not created enough merits yet to meet my guru soon ...
Rejoice in all who had met theirs or found their path.

Meanwhile I shall continue to work hard towards entry into Amitabha Buddha's Pureland.
Hopefully I will meet good teachers and companions to motivate me on the way.
