When the restrictions you have do not limit you, this is what we mean by practice.

A flower falls, even though we love it; and a weed grows, even though we do not love it....In this way our life should be understood. Then there is no problem.

It is only by practicing through a continual succession of agreeable and disagreeable situations that we acquire true strengths. To accept that pain is inherent and to live our lives from this understanding is to create the causes and conditions for happiness.

Discipline is creating the situation.

It is wisdom that is seeking for wisdom.

If you try to observe the precepts, that is not true observation of precepts. When you observe the precepts without trying to observe the precepts, that is true observation of the precepts.

To express yourself as you are, without any intentional, fancy way of adjusting yourself, is the most important thing.
