Gate Ninety
Read the following, place it in your heart and sleep on it. Then, tomorrow, live it until evening when you can leave a brief comment on what you may have received during the process.
The diligence pāramitā* is a gate of Dharma illumination; for [withit] we completely attain all good dharmas, and we teach and guide lazy living beings.
A “Dharma Gate” is a teaching or practice that can lead to spiritual growth: some kind of positive outcome in terms of our practice. A way to approach the truth.
Koan:
"Virya paramita is said to have three components. The first component is the development of character. It is also about cultivating the courage and the will to walk the path as far as it goes, for as long as it takes.
For you, this stage might involve correcting bad habits or giving up excuses. You may need to clarify commitment to the path and cultivate shraddha -- trust, confidence, conviction."
Most note worthy replies :
"If you practice complaining/anger/worrying, you will become very good at it..."
Notes:
* Diligence pāramitā : the wisdom of enthusiastic perseverance
