Page "Kelsang Gyatso" Paragraph 59

Every Teacher and every tradition has a slightly different approach and employs different methods.

The practices taught by one Teacher will differ from those taught by another, and if we try to combine them we shall become confused, develop doubts, and lose direction.

If we try to create a synthesis of different traditions we shall destroy the special power of each and be left only with a mishmash of our own making that will be a source of confusion and doubt.
