6. Overcoming Mental Impurities
high-definition creative commons photographs from Bhikkhu Sumedha’s Chapter on Overcoming Mental Impurities together with further information.
Focusing on deep-seated psychological habits, this chapter explains how the impulsive reaction of aversion misleads people into seeing pain as unpleasant. It highlights that feelings and the mind exist in separate spheres; thus, physical pain does not necessitate negative emotions. Through continuous practice, one can overcome the habit of suffering and become a master of themselves rather than a slave to debilitating mental impurities like anger or greed.
