“With the proper possession of hearing and reflection, one will truly enter into meditation.”

Of the three types of wisdom—hearing, reflection, and meditation—dharma study helps us cultivate the second: the wisdom of reflection.

Without reflecting on the teachings we have received, we remain full of doubts and uncertainties. By engaging in reflection, we deepen our understanding, allowing us to enter meditation practice with confidence and to apply the teachings to our lives with clarity and certainty.
