The teacher can open the door but you must enter by yourself


Our everyday life for those who practice, is constant battle between ( entertainment) and (practice) we are in this civilisation where the entertainment is huge even when we are kids the first things we know it's to entertain ourself.

Later in life we keep this habit and when life comes to end lot of us have regrets, when we look at our life, we want to have nice life be happy and so on.

But what it takes to be happy and we need to make action, we need to train ourself to learn skills and practice train on mind for those who have take refuge, it's like if you are an athlete but never train how you will be able to run .

If we take the simple example of the prostration in buddhism it's really hard and if we don't prepare our body for that it's kind wanted to climb the mount Everest without be trained.

Whatever our teacher are, a Lama, Coach, School teacher whatever, they are really kind to train us to take time to show us the way so if we don't take the step behind to follow the teaching and apply to our life it's purely a wast of time for them, we can have all the tool and all the teaching we want but if we never apply them they are wast.

In buddhism we have a lot of time this figure people want practice high tantra but they don't want prostrate or they don't want to preliminary practice, one of my personal example is Lama Tsongkhapa have performed millions of prostrations, another example is late Kalu Rinpoche he have performed prostration even when he was really old.
When we do whatever exercise dharmic or not it's always for our benefit when we take time to learn from course and so on all of this it's for our benefit so all kind of entertainment are useless we maybe bring fun but no more than that.

Procrastination is like decease in our 21st century !
