Dalai Lama Quote of the Week

...several great Kagyu and Sakya masters... have expressed the stages [of sutra and tantra paths] in terms of the tradition known as "parting ourselves from the four forms of clinging."

First we part from clinging to this life. Instead of total involvement with affairs of this life, we involve ourselves with future lives. We accomplish this by thinking about our precious human life with all its freedoms and endowments for spiritual growth, how we lose it because of death and impermanence, and then the karmic laws of behavioral cause and effect that shape our future lives. Next we part from clinging to future lives and involve ourselves, instead, in the quest for liberation. By thinking about all the suffering of uncontrollably recurring rebirth, or samsara, we generate sincere renunciation of it--the strong determination to be free and attain the total liberation that is nirvana.

--from The Gelug/Kagyu Tradition of Mahamudra by His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Alexander Berzin, published by Snow Lion Publications
