+THE MIND OF CLEAR LIGHT
+
+  Is spiritual practice really worthwhile?  Is it really possible to eliminate
+from within ourselves the forces that give rise to suffering?  As is said,
+“The ultimate nature of mind is clear light.” Consciousness has many
+levels, and although the coarser levels are affected by the defiling forces,
+the most subtle level remains free of gross negativities.  In the Vajrayana
+this subtle level of consciousness is called the mind of clear light.
+  The delusions and emotional afflictions as well as the dualistic mind of
+right and wrong, love and hatred, etc., are associated only with the coarse
+levels of consciousness.  At the moment, we are totally absorbed in the
+interplay of these coarse states, so we must begin our practice by working
+within them.  This means consciously encouraging love over hate, patience in
+place of anger, emotional freedom rather than attachment, kindness over
+violence, and so forth.  Doing this brings immediate peace and calm to the
+mind, thus making higher meditation possible.
+  Then, because grasping at a self and at phenomena as being truly existent is
+the cause of all the vast range of distorted states of mind, one cultivates
+the wisdom that eliminates this ego-grasping.  To overcome ego-grasping is to
+overcome the entire host of mental distortions.
+  -- H.H. the Dalai Lama
