Not
even a scrap of Tibetan culture
by
Keith Dowman
”I
don't think we need even a scrap of Tibetan culture, including
vajrayana buddhism, in order to recognise the nature of mind. If
somebody walks in of the street here who never heard of Tibet or
Tibetan buddhism and has a natural antipathy to anything other than
American culture, is given the essence of dzogchen, there's no reason
why that person should not attain immediately the same state that we
have reached, having gone through that whole circuit of oriental
culture and Tibetan buddhism.” - Keith Dowman
