A man becomes very sick and goes to see a doctor. The doctor prescribes a regime of treatment, including antibiotics. Grateful, the man returns home, builds an altar to the doctor, along with candles and inscence and a large painting of the doctor.
Each morning he reads from the prescription pad:
"take one pill in the morning. Take one pill in the afternoon. Take one pill in the evening,"
but he does not fill the prescription.
This seems like the state of the church today.
This is why I am enrolling in the Vipassana course- they are teaching the course of treatment outlined by Buddha himself. I propose to fill the prescription.
