This is training in bodhichitta. -- Andrew Holecek, from "Preparing to Die: Practical Advice and Spiritual Wisdom from the Tibetan Buddhist Tradition", published by Shambhala Publications +~ +When you explain or hear the teachings, if your mind and the teachings remain +separate, then whatever is explained will be inconsequential. Hence, listen +in such a way that you determine how these teachings apply to your mind. For +example, when you want to find out whether or not there is some smudge, dirt, +or whatever, on your face, you look in a mirror and then remove whatever is +there. Similarly, when you listen to the teachings, your faults such as +misconduct and attachment appear in the mirror of the teachings. At that +time, you regret that your mind has become like this, and you then work to +clear away those faults and establish good qualities. + -- Tsong-kha-pa, from "The Great Treatise on the Stages of the Path to + Enlightenment, Volume 1", published by Shambhala Publications
