The purpose of practicing


     “The purpose of practicing is to grow in wisdom. Growth in wisdom can only happen once we are able to recognize, understand, and transcend the defilements. In order to test your limits and to grow, you have to give yourself the opportunity to face the defilements. Without facing life’s challenges, your mind will remain forever weak.”
