336 - Finding the Edge of Your Practice (1 of 2)
About this episode
The episode discusses the importance of identifying the 'edge' of one's Dharma practice for personal growth and understanding.
To keep your Dharma practice lively, it's important to regularly identify the "edge" of your practice. This is your growth point – the current limit of your understanding and your capacity to embody it. Of course, you don't have a single edge; it might be more accurate to say it's important to identify something on your growth "perimeter," or find one of your many edges, so you can focus your practice or have a dialogue with a teacher. I discuss what an edge is, what it means to find one, why this is important, and how to go about it.
