Content / Description

The way of kilesas. Sugar coated poison. Dukkha glued to our back. How we do increase our dukkha. Wasting our time. Meditation is not just getting a nice feeling. Practice: boxing against the champion. Practice and its sole enemy: the kilesas. We do not get anything for free. The sweet voice of the kilesas: believing their promises. Fighting hindrances. Fear, doubt, and laziness: the powerful factors of our kilesas. Fata morgana. The kind of strictness that is going to lead us to the place of freedom. Not Believing the images created by the kilesas.
