There is space for historical academic research, and there is space for the reverential attribution of teachings to various personages. There is space for people who want to get as close as they can to the words of Padmasambhava and Yeshé Tsogyel—and there is space for people who want to go for the essence irrespective of the nearness or distance of its historical origin. Buddhism is a vast field of wonder for its sincere practitioners, and so many, many, many different methods are encompassed within its parameters. We feel that it is preferable to come from a position of inclusivity rather than exclusivity.p51, Emailing the Lamas from Afar, Ngakpa Chögyam and Khandro Déchen, Aro Books, 2009, ISBN 978-0-9653948-5-7
