To annihilate the four demons
Is the teaching of the Great Vehicle.
To neither reject nor pursue saṃsāra or nirvāṇa
Is the meaning of the Prajñāpāramitā.

Making use of unfavorable conditions
Was taught by the venerable Machig.
To consider adversity as a friend
Is the instruction of Chöd.

When your mind is agitated, calm your body and mind, and look to your mind. When your mind is dull, restrengthen your body and mind, and look to your mind. From time to time recite the prayer, Calling the Lama from Afar. From time to time think, "How long will I be here?"
From time to time think, "Where will I take rebirth?" From time to time reflect on your positive and negative activities. From time to time do repetitions, prayers, ceremonies, and dedications. Always apply alertness and watch with mindfulness.

~ Great Terton Minister Raga Asye,
excerpted from, Calling the Lama from Afar
translated by Ven. Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal Rinpoche

Master Padma said: There can be many types of mistakes for people who have entered the gate of the Dharma. Be careful!

The lady asked: What are they?

The master said: It is possible to mistake a teacher who has studied intelligently for a spiritual friend whose being is liberated through learning and reflection.

It is possible to mistake an insensitive "Dharma-expert," who has not practiced himself, for someone who has gained experience through personal practice.

It is possible to mistake a deceitful hypocrite for a noble being who has tamed his mind through Dharma practice.

It is possible to mistake empty words of hollow eloquence for the realization of someone possessing the oral instructions.

It is possible to mistake a braggart spouting the Dharma for the devotion to Dharma practice of a faithful person.

In any case, you must make sure to mingle your mind with the Dharma.

People who practice the Dharma of lip service, claiming to be practitioners while keeping the Dharma as something apart from themselves, will have no success in Dharma practice.
