Divisity in the flower field.

" I am a Mahayana, I am Vajrayana, I am Kagyupa, Sakyapa, Jonangpa,Gelugpa, or Nyingmapa... Rangtongpa, Shetongpa....and therefore I am correct" is just an expression of ignorance.
To discuss in accordance to beneficial debat is not like that.

"We could study the great texts and get totally lost in the words, so that we don't really derive any benefit from them but instead become proud of ourselves and feel competitive toward others. But when we don't know ourselves (our nature) it's hardly the time to start pitting ourselves against others or to feel self-important. there is no reason to be conceited.

When people think they know something, they can get very full of themselves. This is known as "bringing gods down to the level of demons", or turning medicine into poison.

Learning is no guarantee of saintliness, just as being saintly is no guarantee of learning, and so our priority should be to combine all three qualities of learning, discipline and kind-heartedness."

Dalai Lama.
