No greater obstacle to Dharma practice ~ Gyelse Tokme Zangpo

No greater obstacle to Dharma practice ~ Gyelse Tokme Zangpo was last modified: January 15th, 2018 by dorjeduck

You won’t accomplish
Both the Dharma and the aims of this ordinary life
If that is your wish,
No doubt you’re deceiving yourself.
There is no greater obstacle to Dharma practice
Than to be obsessed by the achievements of this life.


Gyelse Tokme Zangpo

quoted in the book The Heart of Compassion: The Thirty-seven Verses on the Practice of a Bodhisattva
