Summary: When asked to name qualities that distinguish the long-term practitioner, a wise person once replied, in part, "Perseverance." With tonight's talk we will investigate and discuss several elements of this powerful principle: 1) why it's so vital to our practice; 2) how our thoughts and actions either discourage or encourage it to arise; and 3) practical ways to bring it about on the cushion and in our daily lives. This talk is also presented in video here: http://seattleinsight.org/Talks/Talk/TalkID/953
