The Buddhist life should not be karma life. Our
purpose of practice is to cut off the karmic spinning mind. So our practice should be quite different from our karmic practice. Even
though you are trying to attain enlightenment, that is a part of karma. You
create karma, you are driven by karma, and wasting time on black cushion.
