Looking into our lives to find those things that prevent us from accomplishing what we wish is fundamental to Buddhist practice. … One common hindrance is to worry obsessively over whether or not we are practicing correctly. By this tight clinging to a need to always get it right or to be perfect we can cause undue stress. Preventing ourselves from experiencing the pure joy of practice hinders our practice. Instead of worrying about whether you are practicing correctly learn to observe what is going on when you do practice. Be generous with yourself. Look for the mystery. Open up to wonder, as if you were a child again.
