This chapter argues that, as when starting anything new, it is a good idea to spend some time getting ready in Buddhist practice. It is important to be careful of certain dangers: Developing bad habits early on will make things more difficult later on. Indeed, starting off well gives the best chances for making progress. Some Buddhists think that seeing reality clearly can happen suddenly, in a flash of insight. Other Buddhists have denied this. For them, seeing reality as it really is comes only after long and hard training. Whatever the speed of realization, it is important to practice regularly. Buddhism has a wide range of what are often called preliminary practices. These preliminary practices play an important role: They demonstrate and develop an intention to understand the world and act accordingly. Another common early step involves finding a teacher.
