The Power of Clinging

The mind can rationalize in so many ways what really is the force of clinging in the mind. I mean, there's nothing wrong with a cup of tea. Why not just have it? I'll feel more energy. If we find ourselves reactive, then actually noticing pleasant, unpleasant, neutral. All of this is putting into practice the Buddha's instruction. One knows how an unarisen feather can arise, how an arisen feather can be removed, and how a future arising of the removed feather can be prevented. So these are the ways we actually apply this teaching.
