Practice Simply Stated
Practice can be stated
very simply. It is moving from a life of hurting myself and others to a
life of not hurting myself and others. That seems so simple--except when
we substitute for real practice some idea that we should be different or
better than we are, or that our lives should be different from the way
they are. When we substitute our ideas about what should be (such
notions as "I should not be angry or confused or unwilling") for our
life as it truly is, then we're off base and our practice is
barren.--Charlotte Joko Beck
