Practice to see ourselves

Our practice is not to see the Buddha. Our practice is to see ourselves.

To see the Buddha during our practice is auspicious. However, the real practice is to see clearly the positive and negative aspects of our mind.

We cannot see our true self in the mirror because of our attachment to “me, myself and I”. From this, we differentiate and discriminate against “others”.
