Chapter Two : Doctrine 21

The Founding Master continued,
“Even though the subjects of the Threefold Study are different when we learn them from the scriptures, they have in actual practice a close connection to one another, like the three tines of a pitchfork. Cultivation must also be combined with Inquiry and Choice; Inquiry must also be combined with Cultivation and Choice; Choice must also be combined with Cultivation and Inquiry. Hence, developing together the Threefold Study involves combining each of these powers so that you will advance without delay in your practice. Also, the reason we gather together as a congregation in a meditation hall and exchange views regarding practice is to have our wisdom honed and to gain greater knowledge and perspective, without having to make excessive effort.”
