We use tools every day: cell phones, money, cars, toothbrushes, and clothing. They are tools for us to go about our life in a more productive and comfortable way. We shouldn't put these tools above what's most important in our lives, our purpose. If any tools get in the way of our purpose in life then we can easily be thrown off of our path. As monks we had tools but they were always quality. I once asked an older monk why we had such new cars and not some beat-up old ones that someone had handed down to us. He said to me "It's more about practicality and us getting from A to B and having that car lasting a long time if we take care of it." What's the lesson here? The lesson is to have quality tools that will last a long time and to take care of them, that's the most practical thing you can do. https://MonkMindset.com
