- Faithful: The practitioner should have faith, meaning they cultivate confidence in what they do. Doubt can prevent stillness.
- Healthy: Physical well-being is crucial. The body and mind are interconnected. If the body is not strong, worries arise, and the mind becomes preoccupied with illness, making stillness difficult.
- Humble without Conceit: Acknowledging one’s status and challenges, being willing to seek advice to address personal weaknesses.
- Diligence: Consistent and regular training is essential in every aspect of practice. Even in the practice of meditation, repetition is necessary.
- Wisdom: Intelligent in training. Even with diligence, if the practice is not done correctly, results may not be apparent.
Meditation is both science and art. It is not just theory; results are not guaranteed every time. It requires intelligence in adapting the practice to the current situation and time. Therefore, smart training is crucial.
