Often, we hear fellow Buddhists claim, ‘I’m just a beginner Buddhist!’ Sometimes, we catch ourselves saying that. Whether uttered out of humility or not, whether mentioned truthfully or not, we ought to reflect on this question…

‘With age catching up and our years left lessening, for how long do I intend to remain a mere beginner in Dharma learning and practice?’

Is it not high time that we step on the gas to more thoroughly purify ourselves, to have some substantial spiritual breakthroughs? Let us not be ‘eternal beginners’ taking our time, for such procrastination is precisely why we are still stuck here in this Dharma diminishing era!
