#13 'I am a Newari Buddhist. Lumbini, being the birthplace of the Buddha, is very special for us. I am not from around here, but came all the way to light butter lamps for my brother who just passed away. I am lighting butter lamps here and dedicating it to my brother, hoping that this small act being performed in this sacred place will help my brother get enough merit to be reborn as a human again. I am not praying we are reunited next life, that's not important. Human birth means he's got a chance for enlightenment, and that's what's more important.' - In the Glorious gardens of Lumbini, Nepal.

Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche
Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche
As It is, Volume Two
"In short, to be able to mingle the recognition of mind essence with daily life is entirely the outcome of training, nothing else. Without training, the recognition of mind essence remains a short glimpse that immediately vanishes. We may recognize again, but it always slips away. We always forget; we always get distracted. Our ingrown habit of not recognizing mind essence, reinforced throughout all our past lives, is simply too strong. There is ultimately no other solution than training in the way I constantly mention: short moments repeated many times. Whether one sits or whether one walks, the training is essentially the same: short moments many times. Unless we repeat it many times we never get used to it. It's most important to recognize again and again. As you grow more and more familiar with recognizing mind essence, and therefore more and more stable, these moments naturally last longer and longer. The periods of not recognizing will become shorter and shorter, fewer and fewer. The training is reminding yourself is thus crucial, until finally there is one continuous, unbroken stretch of original wakefulness that is called the state of complete enlightenment. Until that happens, you need to train again and again."

TEN TYPES OF SUPERFICIALITY - Padmasambhava
TEN TYPES OF SUPERFICIALITY
Master Padma said: There are many people who let their Dharma practice become superficial.
The lady asked: How is that?
The master said: it is superficial to chant the scriptures without having faith.
It is superficial to be altruistic without feeling compassion.
It is superficial to act generously without being free from stinginess.
It is superficial to be a tantrika who does not keep the samayas.
It is superficial to be a monk who does not keep the vows.
It is superficial to be noble without meditating.
It is superficial to have knowledge without practicing the Dharma.
It is superficial to engage oneself in a Dharma that does not possess the essence of practice.
It is superficial to teach others when one does not act in accordance with the Dharma oneself.
It is superficial to give advice that one does not follow oneself.
In any case, my ears are tired of listening to "'earned" people whose Dharma practice does not tame their own minds but who simply let it add disturbing emotions; whatever they say is nothing but superficial talk.

From the introduction to The Lotus-Born: The Sanglingma Life Story of Padmasambhava- www.padmasambhavagururinpoche.com
The Great Master expressed the real essence of this in his advice named the Precious Garland of Gold:
I, Padmakara, came to benefit Tibet.
By miraculous displays, I have tamed the vicious spirits
And established many destined people on the path of ripening and liberation.
The profound terma teachings shall fill Tibet and Kham with siddhas.
Pass and valley, mountain and cave, everywhere down to the size of a hoof,
I have consecrated to be a place of sadhana.
Creating the auspicious coincidence for lasting peace in Tibet and Kham,
I shall nurture beings with an unceasing stream of emanations.
My kindness to Tibet is great but it will not be appreciated.
