Rinpoche teaches here the importance that Buddha, Dharma and Sangha came from sentient beings - that makes them so unbelievable precious. If you see an ant, you think:Buddha, Dharma and Sangha, the rare sublime ones, came from this insect. Also, all the holy objects like statues, stupas and scriptures came from sentient beings. Because of that,we can purify all defilements, the cause of the suffering of samsara from beginningless rebirths. All of that comes from a worm being eaten by a bird, from this mosquito, biting me. Achieving Dharma from Buddha or from sentient beings is the same. So as you respect the Buddha, why not respect the sentient beings? If you generate compassion for onesentient being, you achieve everything, you achieve enlightenment. If you cherish sentient beings more than yourself, that is the best Dharma practice.
