The cost of not practising meditation

Terrible terrible. I just stopped practicing meditation for a week only and my ability to calm my mind has deteriorated drastically when I tried meditating last night. This will serve as a reminder on the nature of cultivation, which is put nicely in a Chinese idiom, "Rowing against the flow of the river, one will recede if one fails to move forth constantly".

Finished 42738 of Lakshmi bija mantra.

You need to go for at least a week's retreat with a strict teacher. After the retreat, u will feel empower by the strong mind. Samatha power man
