Quote by Tsultrim Allione

“There were many practices based on subduing, or cutting through the ego. Gradually, I realized this approach did not work well for me and as I began to teach, I saw it often did not work well for students either, especially women. They responded more positively to nurturing their innate wisdom and buddha nature rather than to attempts to cut through their egos. Perhaps because they struggle more with self-esteem and self-hatred, the battle motif turns practice into another way to beat themselves up, another battle among many.”
