PRACTICE IS PRACTICE (PDF-1751)

Meditation requires practice and practice is kind of boring or can be whether it is practicing scales and fingering on a guitar or practicing meditation. Our practice is not the result or fruition of meditation practice but only the means of forming a habit that can bring us toward that fruition, call it realization, awareness, or whatever. The practice of meditation is like any other form of practice, preliminary by design. It is practice and not the real thing. That is why we call it meditation ‘practice’ as in “I am now going to do my practice.” That says it all.
