    Re: Discipline - how to cultivate it?

    There's this Japanese saying regarding the daruma doll, something like: fall down ninety-nine times, get up one hundred times. Something like that. There's also Nike's "Just do it" slogan. I think these two sum up nicely my approach on discipline.
    Here is the Japanese saying you refer to:
    Shichi Korobi-7down
    Ya Oki-8up

    This a beautiful saying which I enjoy very much!

        Imho, how often or long I sit are hindrances to my practice more so than the reality of their answers..
