Notes

Digressing from the topic of dbang bskur, 'Jigs med gling pa discusses the need to experience directly the 'philosophy' one reads in treatises in order to avoid premature conclusions regarding the 'authenticity' or 'inauthenticity' of works. He cites a relevant passage from the Vajraḍākinī: "Treatises are easy to find; but integrating them (into your life) is difficult to find."
