People usually don’t sit much. If they sit because they are tired, that is it. I don’t think they are aware or practice their awareness. So, what is lacking of Dharma practitioner is sitting.
As a Buddhist practitioner, especially Varjayana practitioner, and even more specially a practitioner of Dzogchen, the most important [thing] is devotion. Not smartness, not intelligence, not wisdom, but genuine devotion.
This time I also mentioned the important points to practice Dharma well. And those necessary conditions to practice Dharma well and for one to accomplish good result on the Path from your practice always are: faith, sincere devotion, is the most important. And then diligence, and knowledge.
Anyone who wants to be a dharma follower, must understand they are responsible for their future lives. Dharma is not just a toy to play with, it’s not just a position from which to show your power, it’s not a joke with which to tease people.
Vairocana said something like, “Nobody may be satisfied, but it is good enough to do things that don’t upset the Buddha.” It is good enough to not cheat those who believe or trust in you.
Everyone knows the importance of study. Study is always good, especially study of Dharma. Because Buddha’s Dharma gives wisdom, teaches how to be a good person, a nice person, an honest person, how to be a beneficial person.
