Such as the views you were told the Patanjali trads and the Nine-fold Nyingmapa paths espouse, for example?
As far as the teachings go, don't rely on the words alone my dear editor, but about the experiential meaning that underlies them.
Regarding the meaning, it's not about the provisional meaning alone, but instead about the definitive meaning.
And regarding the definitive meaning, it's not about relying on ordinary consciousness, but about relying upon Wisdom Awareness.
