May the kind teachers and compassionate tantric deities In whom I take refuge from my heart please bestow blessings upon me.
"If you are attached to this life,
you are not a person of Dharma.
If you are attached to cyclic existence,
you do not have renunciation.
If you are attached to your own purpose,
you do not have boddhicitta.
If grasping arises,
you do not have the view."
~ Sachen Kunga Nyingpo
(translated by H.H. Sakya Trizin and Jay Goldberg, 1982)
