In today's selection from Dilgo Khyentse's commentary we can read:

"...practice the various stages of the path:
the development [aka: generation] stage,
in which you visualize the deities and
recite mantras;

the completion [aka perfection] stage,
in which you practice the inner yogas;

and the Mahamudra and Great Perfection
[aka Dzogchen],
in which you encounter the
absolute nature of awareness."

From the Dalai Lama's
"The Path to Enlightenment,"
lets read page 102-103 and
let's also read from the
Translator's Introduction on page 15.





In today's selection the 14th Dalai Lama explains:

"The activity to be avoided by
anyone holding refuge in the Sangha is
spending too much time with people who

[1] teach or follow wrong paths, and
[2] whose influence hinders one's practice and
[3] disturbs one's mind."

In today's exploration of
the " Intermediate Collection of Practices "
we could consider:

"Energy Vampire"

Could you have ever met an energy vampire,
without even knowing it?

Sometime they'll verbally shove one into a
defencive posture and then feed off of one's
lost power.

Could you intuit how it does NOT even have to
be deliberate to
be destructive?
