on Vajra Masters and judging skillfulness

conversation that is ringing some bells here. following it closely.

I’m afraid that the skillful actions of the Vajra Master result in rejection, labelling, and hurting all the time in practice in the Vajrayana which is why as devotees we must realize the appearance-emptiness of our Master or suffer the consequences.

I’m not at all afraid that the skillful actions appear to be unskillful. That is precisely the point. Swimming in samsara as we do, how can you say you know the difference well enough to say one is skillful and the other, not?

What if every act we thought to be unskillful was, in truth, supremely skillful, designed to lead us to the insight that delivers enlightenment?

What wisdom is there in treating any act as unskillful when this might be the case?
