In this present age
'In this present age, people have very short lives and a multitude of wild thoughts and gross afflictive emotions. We compound this by frittering away our lives in superficial, theoretical study. But the essence of the Dharma is to actually practice it and achieve inner realization. Before we can practice, therefore, we have to prepare ourselves with all the favorable conditions, just as someone who wants to travel somewhere begins by securing all the provisions and other things he will need on the journey.'
Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, on 'Discipline' in 'Zurchungpa's Testament', p. 129, Shambhala.
