Rinpoche gave this advice on the need for students to now put effort into developing realizations on lamrim. Here are Rinpoche’s words.
We have achieved a lot in Dharma education and study. Now we have to put effort into attaining the path. I don’t mean just doing a three-year retreat and counting a certain number of mantras, but the attainment of the path through the lamrim.
Realizations don’t have to come from being in formal retreat, you can achieve them while working and studying with meditation on the lamrim. You can be doing business and studying and meditating on the lamrim. You can have family and a job, and be meditating on the lamrim. The main thing now is attainment.
