Reflect on:
(A). BUDDHA – who became perfect in purity of mind.
(B). DHAMMA – the technique of purification
(C). SANGHA – the followers of the way to perfection
(D). YOURSELF (a beginner on the way.)
We begin by replacing unconscious emotional thoughts with conscious good and rational thoughts:
conscious good and rational thoughts are:
(1) Dispassion (viraga)
(2) Compassion (metta)
(3) Happiness (piti)
(4) Equilibrium/ Tranquility(samadhi)
(5) Introspective experiential thinking (dhamma)
Unconscious emotional thoughts:
(1) Passion (raga)
(2) Hatred (vyapada)
(3) Worry (kukkucca)
(4) Anxiety (uddhacca)
(5) Extrospective existential thinking (bhava)
After reflecting on the Buddha, Dhamma, and the Sangha, and even on oneself, and having got the inspiration to practice, one then begins to practice cultivating these qualities within us.
