The Three Aspects of Training: Virtue, Samadhi, and Wisdom
The path to liberation consists of three aspects: virtue, samadhi, and wisdom. These qualities may appear separate, but they ultimately converge as one. Upholding virtue requires wisdom, while cultivating wisdom purifies our actions and speech. Virtue is developed by abandoning wrong and cultivating right actions, leading to a steadfast and unwavering heart, known as Samadhi. This stable mind unifies and strengthens our Dharma practice, allowing a deep inquiry into the reality of our experiences.
