We should define “practice” in broad terms. To me, reading Tricycle is practice. So is mindfully walking to the store. Writing this post is a kind of practice. Stopping what you are doing to thoroughly appreciate a sunset is practice, too. Being open to new experience, letting go of fear, seeing self-aggrandizement for what it is are all forms of practice. It isn’t just about sitting in formal posture counting breaths or simply being. It is also about doing, moment-to-moment. And you can do that all day, every day, long. If we want to become more engaged in practice, then we must define our practice regimen in the broadest terms. Eventually, we should be practicing all the time—even as we carry on with the small tasks that fill our lives.
