I was thinking about my meeting with an Archarya a few weeks back. He mentioned that the Shambhala path is not an equation but there's "art" to the path.
Although I agree with that there is an Art to the path; I also believe the path is very much a science. It is as precise as giving meditation instructions to a beginner about the posture one takes when sitting.
Yet as with any teaching, the words cannot communicate the whole of an understanding. I feel it is better to accept that which is good, and the parts I have "faith" in as true, than to argue every detail.
