If we do not allow our beliefs to evolve,
if we do not maintain an open mind,
we risk waking up one day to discover that
we have lost faith in what we once believed.
This can be devastating.
As practitioners of meditation,
we should never accept anything on blind faith,
regarding it as an absolute, unchanging truth.
We should investigate and observe reality
with mindfulness and concentration,
so our understanding and faith can deepen day by day.
This is the kind of faith we cannot lose,
because it is not based on ideas or beliefs
but on experienced reality.
