The Two Currents Of Practice

When we come to practice there are two similes that are traditionally used. There are two streams, or currents in the flow of our life. One stream is a stream that in Buddhist practice were meant to go up against. We are going upstream from the current of greed, hate and delusion. The other current is a current of the Dharma. It’s said that someone who has tasted the first taste of liberation, has entered the current that leads to full liberation.
