Once you have understood well that the teaching in general and the Mahayana teaching in particular are about to disappear, and that this time is particularly degenerate, you realize that a spirit of enlightenment developed from the depths of the heart is extremely rare. Rely on an excellent teacher and make an effort to practice— studying and reflecting, etc. upon the Mahayana scriptural collection—and plant the root for the development of the spirit from the depths of your heart, not forced by others, nor mindlessly following others, nor through the habit of custom, but through your own strength. All the bodhisattva deeds are necessarily based on it.
~ Lamrim V2 P25LL10-LL01《广论》【闻·思·修】Lamrim·Meditation
如是善知总诸圣教及大乘教,将近隐灭,较诸浊世最为恶浊,现于此世应当了知至诚发心极为希少。当依善士听大乘藏,谛思惟等,勤修加行。非唯他劝,非随他转,非为仿效其规式等,当由自力至诚发心树立根本,以其菩萨一切诸行皆依此故。
~ 《广论》 P210LL06-LL04
