Using your time to practice as diligently as possible; using your time as tightly as possible

We have to fix our habitual tendency to be lazy, right? (laugh) “I’ve been lazy and then to be more diligent.” Our laziness affects our practice, which makes it very, very, very slow and we are very forgetful (laughed). We forget to practice Dharma many times, many days. Therefore, we have to fix this problem. I think we give ourselves a lot of excuses to be lazy, but this is not the smartest way because time doesn’t give us many chances. Time is passing. Time is going into the space, into emptiness every day, every second. The more you wait, the more difficult it is in the future because we are older and may suffer sickness, and many other problems can appear in our lives. Hence, using your time to practice as diligently as possible; using your time as tightly as possible.
There arose two questions for consideration. The first one is: “Do you really believe in Buddhism? Why do you believe in this? Does Buddhism make sense to you? Is Buddhism truthful?” That’s the first question. If we say “yes” and I guess you say “yes” (laughed). Then the second question is: “Why don’t we follow the instructions diligently? Why you are so slow and why we are being very lazy?” Some people say “no”, right? I know. OK. So, I wish people are more diligent and people are more understanding, more compassionate, kinder and everything [be better] for you. So, that’s my heart speech.
