True Spirituality

Topic: Spiritual Growth & Practice

“If you think seriously about the true meaning of spiritual practices, it has to do with the development and training of your mental state, attitudes, and psychological and emotional state and well-being. You should not confine your understanding of spiritual practice to terms of some physical activities or verbal activities, like doing recitations of prayers and chanting…. If you understand spiritual practice in its true sense, then you can use all twenty-four hours of your day for your practice. True spirituality is a mental attitude that you can practice at any time.“

The Dalai Lama, The Art of Happiness

“This reminds me of one of the Tibetan Kadampa masters, Potowa, who said that for a meditator who has a certain degree of inner stability and realization, every event, every experience you are exposed to comes as a kind of teaching. It’s a learning experience. This I think is very true.”

–Tenzin Gyatso, The Fourteenth Dalai Lama and Howard C. Cutler [The Art of Happiness] p. 299.
