The Buddha taught that whatever we frequently ponder will become the inclinations of our minds.
What habits or inclinations shape our minds and hearts? What might you find yourself repeating unthinkingly?
Habits can feel very strong and feel very connected to who we feel ourselves to be, the network of “I, me, and mine.”
Even after we see clearly the delusion of that habit, it can be compelling. How do we work with the “hook” of a habit pattern, and loosen its hold on us?
Sonia facilitated a discussion this week with the Sangha exploring habits and conditioning as well as the possibility of attaining freedom through our practice.
