"If you wish to eradicate your afflictions, you must follow your teacher and study for a long time. Otherwise, studying for only a few days will not have any significant effect."
~ Jigme Phuntsok Rinpoche
"...Some people today are not willing to study or reflect on the Dharma, but they are enthusiastic about meditation. They believe meditating all day with their eyes shut is the ultimate practice. I do not think much of this."
~ Jigme Phuntsok Rinpoche
"Although there are people of the highest calibre who attain enlightenment without study or reflection, are you of such calibre?"
~ Jigme Phuntsok Rinpoche
"...You can't live in a cave or another completely isolated place when you first start to practice. You should be w/ a qualified Dharma teacher & earnestly receive the Buddhadharma; it's best if you're always engaged in study, reflection & practice"
~ Jigme Phuntsok Rinpoche
"Of course, I am not asking you to study and reflect for a lifetime without ever practicing. But to spend an entire life in blind meditation without any study or reflection is also the wrong path."
~ Jigme Phuntsok Rinpoche
