To learn the self
The purpose of studying Buddhism is not to study Buddhism, but to study ourselves. – Shunryu Suzuki
If not for the sake of it, the purpose of doing anything is to study the self. Do we have what it takes? Can we take on a challenge wholeheartedly? Even if it’s not a challenge, can we do a good job? How can we make ourselves grow?
If you ever needed a reason to do anything, make it this.
