By identifying how we relate to the world - judging type, comparing type, fixing type – we can begin to break down the mental habit of relating in this way. We then expand to experiences to bring a more neutral awareness. These types have counterparts in the Buddhist topology of greed, hatred and delusion. Recognizing our type allows us to see how we get caught in the Three Unwholesome Roots.
Date of talk: February 6, 2011
Length: 49 minutes
Home Practice:
Watch yourself this week to see how often you are judging yourself or another.
How often are you comparing youself to another or comparing others?
How often are you being driven to "fix" rather than responding from wisdom and compasssion?
