"Moral concepts practiced without understanding can be the greatest of obstacles to fulfilling the Bodhisattva's vow of uncompromising compassion. Do not cultivate virtue and renounce vice. Rather, learn to accept all things as they arise. Penetrate the essence of each experience until you have achieved the one taste. "While medicine heals and poison kills, Their ultimate essence is the same. Both positive and negative qualities Are aids on the path — The sage rejects nothing. Yet the unrealised fool Five times poisoned Is lost forever in samsara." — Mahasiddha Ghantapa
