“Primordial wisdom [Skt. jñāna; Tib. ཡེ་ཤེས་, yeshé; Wyl. ye shes] has many names, but in truth it refers simply to the inseparability of the ground and fruit, the one and only essence-drop [thig le nyag gcig] of the dharmakaya. If it is assessed from the standpoint of its utterly pure nature, it is the actual dharmakaya, primordial Buddhahood. For, from its own side, it is free from every obscuration. We must understand that we are Buddha from the very beginning. Without this understanding, we will fail to recognize the spontaneously present mandala of the ground, and we will be obliged to assert, in accordance with the vehicle of the paramitas, that Buddhahood has a cause. We will fail to recognize the authentic view of the Secret Mantra.”
Jamgön Mipham, White Lotus: An Explanation of the Seven-line Prayer to Guru Padmasambhava

“Now when it is said that the dharmatā or ultimate nature is not an object of knowledge, this means that since the dharmatā transcends all conceptual constructs, it is not conceivable.”
Jamgön Mipham, The Wisdom Chapter: Jamgön Mipham's Commentary on the Ninth Chapter of The Way of the Bodhisattva

“Whenever you study or contemplate the Dharma,
Rely not on the words, but on the meaning.

If the meaning is understood, then regardless of the speaker’s style,
There will be no conflict.”
Jamgön Mipham
