在多數佛教的觀念裡，精進表示你要多念經，多念咒，要每天起得很早、睡得很晚，把你所有的時間都花在這上面，這是一般佛教裡認為的精進。但是在戰士的訓練裡，精進並不只這些。很努力地去讀一個東西，或是很努力地去修法這個並不是精進；精進表示一種愉快或愉悅，這種愉快是很重要的。

In most of the concept of Buddhism, diligent means you have to read more text, recite more mantra, have to get up very early and go to bed very late, spend all the time in this way, this is how people generally think about diligent in Buddhism. However, in the training of a warrior, diligent is not only these. Being very hard working to read something, or very hard working on practice, this is not diligent. Diligent means a kind of pleasant or pleasure, this kind of pleasure is very important.
