Dalai Lama Quote of the Week
Only a Buddha has extinguished all faults and gained all attainments. Therefore, one should mentally go for refuge to a Buddha, praise him with speech, and respect him physically. One should enter the teaching of such a being.
A Buddha's abandonment of defects is of three types: good, complete, and irreversible. Good abandonment involves overcoming obstructions through their antidotes, not just through withdrawing from those activities. Complete abandonment is not trifling, forsaking only some afflictions or just the manifest afflictions, but forsaking all obstructions. Irreversible abandonment overcomes the seeds of afflictions and other obstructions in such a way that defects will never arise again, even when conditions favourable to them are present.
--from Tantra in Tibet by H.H. the Dalai Lama, Tsong-ka-pa and Jeffrey Hopkins, published by Snow Lion Publications
* * * * * * Snow Lion's Dharma quote for this week is by Chogye Trichen Rinpoche, teacher to H.H. the Dalai Lama and H.H. Sakya Trizin, who recently passed away in Nepal at the age of 87. We are saddened by the loss of this fine teacher, and send our condolences to his many students throughout the world.
