Though some may not agree, still wish to share this quote by
Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche:
There is only one way of attaining liberation and of obtaining the
obniscience of enlightenment: following an authentic spiritual
master. He is the guide that will help you cross the ocean of
samsara.
The sun and the moon are reflected in clear, still water instantly.
Similarly, the blessings of all the buddhas are always present for
those who have complete confidence in them. The sun's rays fall
everywhere uniformly, but only where they are focused through a
magnifying glass can they set dry grass on fire. When the
all-prevading rays of the Buddha's compassion are focused through
the magnifying glass of your faith and devotion, the flame of
blessings, blazes up in your being.
