The Topic
A professor once invited students to his house. He put out drinks served in a variety of cups. Even though the drinks were all the same liquid, the students automatically zeroed in on the ‘better’ cups. All the cups were of similar size and function!
Human beings have an innate tendency to aim for what they perceive to be ‘a bit better’. In Buddhism, the driving force behind this motive is called ‘vedana’. We will look at this pushing and pulling mechanism in the mind, and what a mindfulness meditator can do about it.
