Description
Coming from the vast and expansive ground of the first paramita, the paramita of generosity, we now turn our attention to the second paramita, the paramita of discipline • discipline has to do with meticulousness of behavior and a sharpening of mindfulness and awareness • when we work with generosity and discipline, we're really working with a fundamental challenge: when do we need to tighten, and when do we need to loosen up? • when do we need to think large, and when do we need to draw in and pay attention to the specifics of what is right in front of our nose? • the challenge is not to lose the vastness in the details, and not lose the details in the vastness • the point of the paramita of discipline, like the point of all of the paramitas, isn’t about self-improvement; the bottom line is that it allows us to be better able to benefit others.
