The defining characteristic of guarding alertness In brief is only this: To examine again and again The condition of my body and mind. Therefore I shall put this way of life into actual practice, For what can be achieved by merely talking about it? Will a sick man be benefited Merely by reading the medical texts? Santideva, "Bodhicaryavatara" |
