Question

When reflecting on the Ten Paramis, could it be helpful to make a distinction between how much they seem to be developed in different areas in life, like with family, at work, with friends?

Answer

Sure, it could be very interesting if you look at your life and see these ten qualities and how well you are working with them at home, how well you are working with them at work, how well you are working with them and in you other activities whether it is sport or whatever. It would be very interesting for you to look at your own development, how well these ten are being developed everywhere, and also to look at how well the environment helps you to develop. That is interesting. Because certainly if a person has a job where they are working in a bar, it is going to be harmful to their development and by looking at your working place, at your home and seeing how well the actual environment helps your development, you might find that you want to change a few things here and there. You might find you want to adjust your life a bit.

So yes, it could be very helpful to take the Ten Paramis and look over how well you are growing in them in your different aspects of your life, and also to check how well these aspects in your life affect your Ten Paramis.
