  3. Dispassion: Quenching of the Fire

    Show notes

    When you find yourself caught in wanting or not wanting (greed or hatred), reflect on the “fire triangle of passion”. Which element are you increasing?

    • Finding more fuel (directing your senses)
    • Increasing the heat (dwelling on and enhancing emotions)
    • Self-identification and attachment (I am the one who wants or doesn’t want).

    From which of these three can you start withdrawing energy? What happens to this state?

    This recording was edited and prepared for publication by volunteer Jim Matthews.
