"There 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.

Eventually, these forms may inspire nothing more than resistance to their authority."

-- Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche
