“Three of these dialogues were with women, illustrious practitioners who were contemporaries of Padmasambhava. These are of special interest in being a window into the past position and attitude of women during the time of Padmasambhava and/or Perna Lingpa.”
.:.
“seven hundred years may not even have made much difference in the relative position of women in Himalayan society. And though the degrading words the women in these stories use to describe themselves were certainly attributed to them by the dominant male culture, most often-and most unfortunately-women tended to internalize these attitudes with characteristic low self-esteem.”

“Two sites in particular mark this geographic spectrum: Kurje in Bumthang, where Padmasambhava is said to have left a full body print, and Samye in central Tibet, the locus of Tibet's first monastery constructed during the reign of Trisong Detsen.”

“to show a more human side, with a touch of humor, Perna Lingpa shares with the reader that partway back down the cliff wall, treasure in hand, he awoke from the trance stuck on a perch.”

“When he read the Prajnaparamita Sutras of twenty-five thousand and eight thousand verses a hundred times at Tsongdu Monastery in Drachi Valley,'- he understood the meaning of all the words.”

“although the seed of buddha exists primordially in you, without the lama there is no one to show it to you”

“Therefore, the lama is better than the buddhas of the three times.”

“In the evening when you are about to fall asleep, visualize om on the inbreath, ah on the pause between breaths, and hung on the out-breath. As you fall asleep, these will be drawn up by the breath-awareness and sleep will become a continuous recitation of the ritual service.”
.:.
“Thus are the extremes of both nihilism and eternalism cleared away: like flowing water, the continual recitation eliminates the nihilism extreme, while knowing that the mantra sound is empty eliminates the eternalism extreme. These two being cleared away, the extremes become empty, like an echo.”

“empty of essence, like ice melting in water.”

“With no time to listen, they long to meditate. With no time to meditate, they long to explain. Not matured themselves, they long to empower others. Not free themselves, they teach experiential guidance to others. Those with no meditation do fake meditation. Those with no realization offer fake realization. Those with no freedom offer fake freedom. Those with no experience make a lot of noise about emptiness. Their outer appearance is of venerable scholars, proclaiming themselves. Doing their recitations, they portray a false image of erudition. Those with no qualities label the faults of others.”
.:.
“The monks will have no discipline, the realized ones no sacred pledge, and the mantra adepts no powers. Disciples of bold lamas will gather around to sell their own fame. Girls without vows will secretly sleep with the clergy. Delinquent boys will sleep in secret with nuns. The crevices in the walls of monasteries will be full of the corpses of the clergy's illegitimate infant boys and girls.”

“Many will be those who desire Dharma, but few who desire a lama.”

“Place your mind like the sky.”

“The emptiness experience is without attachment to anything at all, external or internal.”
.:.
“three parts: the time of spontaneous presence, the time of the unimaginable, and the time of great bliss. Of those, this is the time of spontaneous presence. If you abide there, the time of spontaneous presence is unimaginable, and there is naturally occurring great bliss. But, again, cyclic existence is clever at deceit, and awareness is gullible. Develop a vast, open mind without attachment to the meditative appearances. Then there is no qualitative difference between Buddhas and sentient beings other than awareness or nonawareness.”
.:.
“The experiential appearances are all different, like the ripples in the sea or the clouds in the sky.”
.:.
“Don't get anxious about realization. Whatever the mind wants to do, let it. Rest mind itself like the center of the sky.”
