I honor my teachers.

As the Sutra of Ksitigarbha says:

Those whom the teachers care for will purify the karma that would otherwise cause them to wander through the miserable realms for ten million limitless eons. They purify this karma with harm totheir bodies and minds in this lifetime. This harm includes sickness such as an infectious disease with fever and calamities such as famine. They may purify their karma by merely undergoing something as little as a dream or a scolding. They produce more roots of virtue in one morning than those who give gifts to, worship, or observe precepts from limitless tens of millions of buddhas.Those who respect and serve their gurus are endowed with unimaginable good qualities.

And also:

Notice that all of the buddhas' immeasurable good qualities of transforming others' minds arise from this proper reliance on the Relying on the Teacher teacher. Therefore, rely on, become close to, serve, and venerate the guru, just as you would the buddhas.
