Books are the training weights of the mind.
Don't just say you have read books. Show that through them you have learned to think better, to be a more discriminating and reflective person. Books are the training weights of the mind. They are very helpful, but it would be a bad mistake to suppose that one has made progress simply by having internalized their contents." Translation by Sharon Lebell
What ought one to say then as each hardship comes? I was practicing for this, I was training for this.
Not every difficult and dangerous thing is suitable for training, but only that which is conducive to success in achieving the object of our effort.
