Practice Is Testing

Practice isn’t just going through a routine; that is mechanical dullness.
Practice is paying attention to every situation, even the unpleasant ones.

True practice is empathy with others’ suffering,
and compassion for those who think they are happy. 😀

‘Compassion for those who think they are happy?’
If compassion is unconditional, we have to include the deluded. 😀

That’s daft!
Thinking we are happy is conditional happiness (relying on conditions).
Take those conditions away and we are unhappy – it’s just a cover up.

‘Testing’ means testing our own reactions to a situation that is testing.
