Crystalline Nature of Words

by Stephen Lloyd Webber

in Imagination, mindfulness

While words and intellectual concepts can only ever be signposts pointing to the true nature of reality, which is quite beyond them, nevertheless the complex interlinked conceptual structure of the teachings is in itself brilliant and beautiful, like a many-faceted crystal whose every facet flawlessly reflects and refers to every other. But please remember that the only way to look into that crystal is to look into oneself. Dzogchen is not just something to be studied– the way of light is there to be traveled.

- Chogyal Namkhai Norbu,

from The Crystal and the Way of Light
