Stoicism: Philosophy as a Way of Life Podcast
Four types of motivation for practice according to Buddhism
According to Buddhism, there are four types of motivation for practice. The worst practitioner is the person who practices not to benefit anyone, as their motivation is fixated on something else. The next worst is the person who practices to benefit others and not themselves, causing problems as they haven't figured out how to benefit themselves. Above that is the person who practices to benefit themselves and not others, at least benefiting themselves. The highest practitioner is the one who practices to benefit both themselves and others, understanding that helping themselves first enables them to help others.
