In the 21st century, development has provided us with full of opportunities.
However, there is always a danger when we do not what is right for us.
For instance, when we take medicine, we need to know how and when we need
medication. Otherwise, it may become harmful to us. Similarly, we all know that
practice of dharma is very important to liberate us from suffering and attain realization
for the sake of all beings. Yet, if we practice wrongly, then we may end up with more misery.
In addition, these days I have seen many friends who like to practice and listen to high teachings (such as Mahamudra, Six Naroyogas and some others).
However, without having proper foundation of dharma knowledge, we are simply looking for more
troubles than benefits. Therefore, my sincere request to all my friends is that, before you jump into
any practices, you need to get a proper advice about the practice and complete instructions.
Otherwise you are going to face more hurdles and fewer benefits from the practice that you may have followed for a long time.
How I will know that I am fully prepared to face challenges as a practitioner?
It is very difficult to prove that when we do not meet with hurdles or obstacles.
For instance, when we are not hungry, we won’t feel the pain of hunger.
Only when we need to face difficult choices and if we are able to make the right decision,
then we can proudly say that the practice has taken root inside our heart !
