Overcoming the Three Kinds of Laziness

Patrul Rinpoche says:

  • "Spurred on by the hook of impermanence, you can overcome the laziness of inactivity.
  • The laziness of attachment to negative behaviour can be overcome by thinking about the joys of the sacred Dharma.
  • The laziness of self-discouragement can be overcome by encouraging yourself and bolstering your self-confidence."
