Abandon Poisonous Food.
1 user commentary Read |
 My Book on Tai Chi Imagery |
When we know that the food we relish is tainted with poison, we reject it immediately. In our practice we must be sure that any wholesome conduct is not tainted
by the twin poisons of the self-grasping ignorance and the self-cherishing attitude.
If the former infects our practice, we should immediately apply the antidote of
meditation on emptiness. Should our practice be stained by the latter, we should
cultivate the altruistic mind and compassion.
