(I am not a guild member. I hope you all don't mind.)
I have been wondering for a while, what does it take to obtain the title of Rinpoche? For that matter, what does it take to become a Lama?

Rinpoche: (Tib.): Literally, "precious one." An honorific title given to incarnate lamas and eminent spiritual teachers. It is used as both a term of address and as the last element of the name. root lama or guru: A teacher from whom one has received the empowerments, instructions and precepts that form the core of one's practice.
