Penang Retreat 2019 Closing Talk (9:38-10:09)
Every day whenever we meet the same people (our partner, pet, or favorite someone) or the same situations, we react the same way. Why don’t the defilements change?
Every time you meet this person or that person, you react the same way (liking or disliking arises). There is no change because you never practice.
Every time I see someone, I check my mind – what ideas are present and how the mind reacts. Slowly, the defilements diminish.
