Discernment

"Our task is to deal with our ignorance. But in the meantime, moment to moment in our everyday life, it is very important for us not only to be aware, but to exercise discernement.
We must know how to discern the true intention behind everything we think, do and say. When unwholesome things come to mind, we recognize them, we let them go. We accept them, we don't deny them. We don't get into conflict about them. We see them, recognize them, and let them go. We encourage and rejoice in wholesome things. In this way, step by step, we purify the mind."
