"Inner obstacles are
imbalances in the nadis, pranas, and bindus -- the channels, energies and
essences, also call the structuring channels, the moving winds, and the arrayed
essences. These can be distributed in
varieties ways. The channels can be
constricted, the winds or energies can be reversed or moved in the wrong way,
and the essences can be deranged.
Essence here means mainly the white and red elements obtained from the
father and mother. These three serve as
the blueprint, the basic structure, for the human body". Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche,
chapter: Overview of Yidam Practice
"The minds of
sentient beings are caught up in fixating on perceiver and perceived. This is the very core of samsaric existence".
Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche, chapter: Overview of Yidam Practice
"The only weapon that
can subjugate and destroy aggression or hatred is compassion". Orgyen Tobgyal Rinpoche, chapter: The
Practice of the Single Form of Vajrakilaya: According to the Teaching of
Sangtik Nyingpo.
"We take refuge
because, when we look at ourselves, we don’t have the omniscient knowledge, the
great compassion, or the capacity to benefit others. So we make a request for help to those who
possess those qualities of wisdom, compassion, and capacity". Tulku Urgyen
Rinpoche, chapter: Vajrasattva Preliminaries
