Decades ago, scientists had a dream to develop
technologies that would do our work for us. So we could do things
easily and rest more. Now we have these things. We have planes,
cars and trains for traveling, computers, phones and cell-phones
for work and communication. Do we think we are resting more?
We all practice dharma different levels, such
as shamatha, vipasyana, loving kindness, yidam deities and so
forth. But we often miss the basic things that are important for
being a practitioner. One would not be successful on the path
without renouncing the ten non-virtues unless one is not engaging
under the influence of three poisons.
