How to use "Chela" in context?
The common name for a monk in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition is chela. A chela is someone who serves as a lifelong messenger, guide, advisor, and teacher to a Rinpoche, or a spiritual master. This sacred role allows chelas to gain a deep understanding and connect with their spiritual masters and complete the transmission of the teachings and practices from one generation to the next.
There are many qualities that make a good chela. They must be patient, hardworking, and have a deep capacity for empathy. They must be able to renounce their own wants and needs and devote themselves entirely to their master.
