People often ask me how to practice, what to do. After many long-winded explanations on my part, I came across this quote which I think does a much better job....
'Have confidence in your own spiritual potentiality, your ability to find your own unique way. Learn from others certainly, and use what you find useful, but also learn to trust your own inner wisdom. Have courage. Be awake and aware. Remember too, that Buddhism is not about being a Buddhist, that is, obtaining a new identity tag. Nor is it about collecting head-knowledge, practices and techniques. it is ultimately about letting go of all forms and concepts and becoming free.'
