Pure Mountain Tao

Those who pursue their practices with dedication and firm conviction achieve concentration and the fruits of their practice more quickly, compared to those who have less dedication. It is very easy to think that the only way to progress is when you have withdrawn from an everyday life, perhaps as a monk living in a Himalayan cave may have done. However, this is not the case. Someone may have a great deal of time available to them and know quite many teachings, but with only a come and go dedication, little progress is achieved. Conversely, a person with a smaller amount of time may only do a mild practice, but have a great intensity of dedication. Such a position is a far superior way to progress on the path of enlightenment. Having little time is balanced by rock-solid dedication at practice time and sincere cultivation of meditation in action.
