The human heart is not a blank lump of coal, it is an uncut diamond, an uncut diamond is not beautiful unless you do something about it. It is meaningless unless you know how to work on that uncut diamond, cut it and polish it, and bring out the beauty that lies within it. This is why, as Buddhists, we are practicing Buddhists. There is no such thing as a non-practicing Buddhist. “I am a Buddhist, I believe in Buddhism, but I haven’t got around to practicing yet.”
This is a fallacy. — Ajahn Jayasāro
