Ep. 147 – The Suffering That Comes With Wanting

Insight Hour with Joseph Goldstein

CHAPTER

Introduction

Joseph Goldstein: When we are lost in the wanting mind, it solidifies and strengthens the sense of self. So often we get caught up or distracted by various thought patterns or emotional tendencies. We so much take them to be who we are that we don't really see their true nature. The Buddha talked of how difficult our task is. He said imagine yourselves on a battlefield surrounded by a thousand warriors,. And then he said imagine doing this a thousand different times. That's easier than freeing our minds completely from these deeply rooted habit patterns and tendencies.
