THE CORE OF ALL LINEAGES

Student: Is the core of all  Buddhist lineages essentially the same?

Chogyam Trungpa: The core? Well, they have to start from somewhere, 
and they obviously start with human beings, confused people, if you 
pinpoint it. But the other cause is enlightenment, which seems to be 
saying the same thing: North Pole, South Pole, makes a whole world.

 From "Milarepa and the Origins of the Kagyu Lineage," in SELECTED 
TALKS ON LINEAGE AND DEVOTION, page 18. Out of print sourcebook.
