This Being retreat day 4, How views and Emotions arise

From Dhanakosa Buddhist Retreat Centre on Tue, 8 Apr, 2014 - 14:53
Today we’re exploring the underlying tendencies that give shape to our experience. We’re also going into the psychology of conceptual and perceptual proliferation and are presented with a model that explains how exactly we become a proverbial ‘tangle of string covered in mould and matted like grass’.

From Dhanakosa Buddhist Retreat Centre on Tue, 8 Apr, 2014 - 13:58
We’ve moved into the territory of the creative and reactive mind, of the spiral path and samsara, and the pivotal role of feeling in the nidana chain. Here’s Dhivan going into this and translating all this lingo into everyday English.
