Perfect Awakening
Being
self-aware in the midst of our daily lives provides us with so much
material with which to notice the reality of our imperfect selves but,
at the same time, to be brought to realize how we are embraced by
Ultimate Wisdom and Compassion at all times. There’s no practice a
person can specifically do to attain perfect awakening, whether it’s
meditation or trying to follow precepts. Of course these are good
practices, but we can never totally free ourselves of our blind
passions. If we believe we can do it this way, the calculation is a
reflection of our ego-selves. Instead, we can be mindful of the dharma
as we go about our lives.
