Mini-Lessons for Contemplative Practice, Lesson Seven

I've been getting wordy in these lessons. It's a pattern that I have. So short and sweet today. The Buddha discussed the Six Roots of the Mind. The mind always exists in one of these states:

Generosity or Greed
Love or Hatred
Wisdom or Delusion

It is useful to notice this and to practice the Wholesome Roots of Mind in order to invite more of them in. Remember that what the brain practices gets hard-wired. And also remember that we can always re-wire with practice.
