Putting emphasis on contentment, shame, and repentance in our daily life

Chan practice is not merely about sitting in meditation. Buddhist practitioners should also seek conceptual guidance and establish the correct mindset. Otherwise, practicing meditation only benefits one's body as qigong does and cannot really change one's character, mentality, and view of life. A true Buddhist constantly reminds himself to know contentment, shame, and repentance. Only when we repent can we feel joy, because we have a clear conscience and feel at ease.
