Otherwise, all kinds of things will come up that we think we need to do first, and we'll never get around to practicing. -- Khenchen Thrangu and Padampa Sangye, from "Advice from a Yogi", published by Shambhala Publications +~ +The ultimate mode of being, the ground wherein both we and Guru Rinpoche are +primordially inseparable—namely, the selfarisen primordial wisdom, which is +subject to no movement of discursive thought—is referred to as Guru. +Because deluded perceptions are themselves primordially pure, the path is free +from all striving and the fruit is present spontaneously like a lotus in full +flower. Therefore [the path itself] is referred to as Padma, or lotus. For +the fruit is not something that occurs at a later stage as a result of the +practice.
