Description

We practice to relieve suffering, not to heap it up upon ourselves. Great determination and self-aversion are a dangerous combination, something we need to be on the lookout for. If our minds do have self hate, it's important to develop kindness towards ourselves. We must also have self awareness to know our own limits and resources, and how much we are capable of. Our efforts must come through wisdom.
