What are the six perceptions for proper listening to Dharma? (4)

4. Regard the earnest practice of Dharma as healing.

When one is seriously ill, one will not simply take a medicine for a week or two, but will take the medicine continuously until one is completely cured. 


In the same way, one needs to employ the teachings of one's guru assiduously - his or her instructions on what to accept and what to reject - until one is fully cured from the illness of samsara.
