Non Addiction - The Small Act of Renunciation

We might practise small acts of renunciation, which is really just another word for non addiction. Maybe it would be the momentary act of refraining from wrong speech or letting a desire simply arise in the mind and pass away without acting on it. That's not insignificant. On my retreat, being the greedy type, so lots of desires come up in the mind. And when i'm on retreat, it's like every time i can see a desire arise in themind and i just watch it come and go, it feels like this great victory over mara. Just let it come and gone, don't act on it. So it strengthens, it strengthens that quality of non addiction.
