"You,
the practitioner, should first of all be like a bee going from flower
to flower collecting nectar. At the stage when you are listening to and
studying the teachings, learn all of them carefully, in both words and
meaning. Then, you should be like a wild animal. Not satisfied with a
mere theoretical understanding, go to live in mountain solitudes where
you can be free from all the busy involvement of ordinary life. Be
self-sufficient and firm in one-pointed practice, as you discover
directly for yourself the profound meaning of the teachings. Finally, as
you put the teachings into practice and integrate them with your being,
you should be like a peg driven into hard ground. Unshaken by thoughts
during meditation, remain unwavering. Cut away all limiting concepts of
existence and non-existence from within, and directly encounter the face
of the ultimate nature of everything. "
Kyabje Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche
