WHY WE’RE ATTACHED TO OUR HOMES

Finland Retreat 2019 End Instructions (19:07-21:25)

At home, everything I see and hear belongs to me.

How do I define my home? My home is the place where all unwholesome minds are allowed to have a party.

We fill our homes with everything we desire. We’ve taken everything we don’t like from our homes. Ultimately, we just keep the people we want in our homes and we don’t invite anyone we don’t like into our homes.

And what do you think happens every time we see these lovely objects that belong to us?

You’re getting more and more attached by the day even without practicing – whenever you see these objects, the greed and aversion are being practiced.

The only difference we can make is to be aware of the greed and aversion because whether we’re aware or not, the unwholesome minds are already happening. If we’re not aware of them, then they grow faster and stronger.
