Now what is good practice?

I associate the following things with good practice.

• Naturality over what is contrived.
• Innocence over what is cynical or jaded.
• Effort over laziness.
• Openness over dogmaticness.
• Gradual vs sudden.
• Consistent vs spotty.

Good practice is gradual, healthy, reasonable, it leads to dispassion, relinquishment and results.

A good sutta that comes to mind is the Uposatha Sutta, in it the Buddha claims that the path is like an ocean-shelf slope: the penetration to gnosis occurs only after a long slope.

Thus I recommend, a clean, consistent practice, don't worry about results, don't speculate about where you are going or whatever. Just practice, practice what?
