The Mahamudra: Eliminating the Darkness of Ignorance

Abstract

Further, there are five types of incorrect grasping. Do not grasp only the words of the teachings and ignore their meaning, nor only the meaning but not the words. Nor should you consider both the words and their meaning equally unimportant. Also do not grasp at either an incorrect order d the teachings or at a wrong understanding. If you regard yourself as a sick man, suffering from delusions, the Guru as your doctor and the teachings a medicine, you are sure to benefit.
