"Some people think that moral ethics and discipline are not important when practicing the highest tantra yoga and the vision of emptiness; they think that the precepts are meant for lower practitioners and not for advanced ones. This may be going too far. On the contrary, those who are more realized in the subtle aspects of Dharma have an even more sensitive and genuine conduct, setting a great example for the followers. Following the precepts and keeping them is a 24-hour a day practice. It is a real test for Dharma practitioners to sustain their discipline at every moment for the rest of their lives. Using all our energy in virtuous ways is a very important method for training the body, speech, and mind." Khenpo Konchog Gyaltsen
