Skillfulness (Uaya Kausalya)
By: Gil Fronsdal
Avoid doing what is deadening. Cultivate what is skillful. Purify the mind. The calm and concentration we can have in meditation sets us up to be able to read the situation and ourselves and better understand what is skillful and what is not skillful to do.
