"You must let go of the raft after you cross the river. The teachings are like a raft meant to carry you across. Yet once on the other shore, do not hold on to the raft."
-The Buddha, a parable given from the Prajnaparamita Sutras.
Lama Dawa Zangpo’s Commentary:
This metaphor is wonderful. We do use things to get us from place to place, from A to B, including spiritual teachings. They are very helpful. They take us where we need to go. Yet when we get to our destination, we don't have to hold on any longer to what the vehicle was. We got to our destination. In this case, it means an open mind, an open heart. A letting go of attachments. A mind that is completely relaxed and content, a mind that is loving and attentive and caring in a deep sense, at this point, we don't have to hold on to anything in particular in terms of dogma. In terms of forms, even the forms of teaching, we need to just manifest the essence of the teaching. We don't have to hold on to it any longer as a form, as a dogma. We are liberated from the vehicle. Very profound.
