Devotion in Practice

James Baraz

There’s an inspiration that arises after you’ve really tasted the Dharma. Everything else seems to pale in comparison and you want to deepen and deepen. You’ve fallen in love with the Dharma. There’s a kind of purity of heart that gets activated as you taste the Dharma more and more, and once you have that feeling, you want to keep on going—like a moth to a flame. That’s the doorway to this quality of Devotion.
