We actually need intelligent doubt and skepticism; they protect us against mistaken views and propaganda.
Dzogchen Ponlop RinpocheIt is not about how much you give, it is about how much you can let go with your mind.
Dzogchen Ponlop RinpocheThere is no inherent awakening power in cultural forms that have become dissociated from the wisdom and practicality that gave birth to them. They turn into illusions themselves and become part of the drama of religious culture. Although they can make us happy temporarily, they can't free us from suffering, so at some point, they become a source of disappointment and discouragement. Eventually, these forms may inspire nothing more than resistance to their authority.
