Episode notes
Treat Causes, Not Symptoms
- When a problem appears, search for the cause instead of just treating the symptom.
- Apply an antidote that targets the root cause to eliminate the problem permanently.
Self-Grasping Is The Root
- Anger and many afflictions share a common root: self-grasping or self-cherishing.
- Understanding selflessness is the ultimate antidote to these afflictions.
Have Many Meditation Tools
- Learn multiple meditation techniques and switch methods if one doesn't work for you.
- Match practices to your temperament and the problem you want to address rather than expecting one method to solve everything.
