Episode notes
The Concept of Minding
- Minding means continuously reacting mentally to everything, causing endless ripples in your mind's lake.
- Most people unknowingly mind everything, disrupting their peace constantly.
Practice Not Minding Everyday
- Practice not minding trivial annoyances such as slow drivers to maintain peace of mind.
- Use rational thinking to ask if bothering yourself has any benefit and decide to let go if it doesn't.
Stop Minding, Not Mind Suppression
- Spiritual growth arises from stopping the reaction of minding, not stopping the mind itself.
- The mind produces noise because you mind things; the goal is to stop minding, not suppress the mind.
