The bird must come home.

Shechen Rabjam says: "We can continue endlessly and fruitlessly with intellectual investigations like a small bird that flies off a ship in the middle of the sea in an attempt to find the sky's limit. The sky is so vast that the bird will tire and have no choice but to return to the ship failing to accomplish its goal. Similarly we will never find an end to mental fabrications."
 
"The point is not to hang out around a teaching but to make commitment, to achieve a true transformation.The Dharma is not merely entertainment but for self-transformation to dwell in genuine happiness and comfort"
