Editors of the website Buddhist Door note that there is one common motif shared between Buddhist meditation practice and Olympian training: that of the finely tuned lute. Strung too tightly, the strings will break; strung too loosely, the strings will sound off. That's a teaching of the Buddha who observed:
"If the lute strings are too tight, will your lute make a nice sound? If the strings are too loose, will your lute make a nice sound? . . . In the same way, if you practice too intensely, it causes stresses. If you practice too little, it causes indolence."
