The difference is that +the Vajrayana teachings are controlled by the lineage. I know we don’t like +the word control, but the Vajrayana teachings are actually held by the +authority of the lineage. I know we also don’t like the word authority, but +we have it in Vajrayana. When we have this pure lineage, this genuine +lineage, there is no space for our egocentric interpretation of dharma. We +cannot interpret dharma like the New Age gurus. We cannot invent a new +lineage because a lineage must be received. It must be received by +transmission. It is not something we can just create here. That would be New +Age, probably from California. + -- Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche, from "Penetrating Wisdom: The Aspiration of + Samantabhadra", published by Shambhala Publications.
