Mahaguru Padmasambhava

"O son of noble family, if you do not recognise your own projections, even though you have practised dharma for an aeon and are learned in all the sūtras and tantras, you will not become a buddha. But if you recognise your projections, with one secret and one word you will become a buddha...

His Eminence Shechen Rabjam Rinpoche

If you do not implement the teachings, your destructive emotions and self clinging will not diminish, and the Dharma instructions will be of no use to you, no matter how many you receive.

7. THE BENEFITS 

The benefits of training in the Bodhicitta you have thus developed are as follows. Elevated above the shravakas and pratyekabuddhas, you are included in the assembly of Mahayana practitioners. Your disturbing emotions, misdeeds, and obscurations are all annihilated from their very root. All the virtuous actions of your body, speech, and mind become causes for what is meaningful and a vast gathering of merit will be perfected in your being. You will always be watched over by the Buddhas and bodhisattvas and the great protectors of the Dharma. All sentient beings will love you as their own child and find you beautiful to behold. You will never be separated from the Mahayana teachings. In short, you will quickly accomplish the superior qualities of Buddhahood and awaken to true and complete enlightenment. Thus the qualities are inconceivable. Therefore be persistent in just this.

Tertön Sogyal

Tertön Sogyal proceeded through the foundational practices of the Dzogchen training. During this period, he had only one robe and nothing on which to sleep. He lived among the forest animals, sleeping on the ground or flat rocks just as they did. He had no pans with which to cook, so his daily sustenance consisted of roasted barley porridge mixed with crystal water from a nearby spring. He endured these austerities without saying a word to his teacher. When Nyoshul Lungtok became aware of Tertön Sogyal’s asceticism, the teacher ordered him to take up residence next to the tent-kitchen.

Nineteenth-century Tibetan mystic Tertön Sogyal was a visionary, whose mastery of meditation led him to be a revered teacher to the Thirteenth Dalai Lama.
