The Buddha Project Reply To: Y2Q5) Alaya and unserviceability
As Buddhists, we believe that Right Speech takes priority over Free Speech. Put simply, Right Speech means abstaining from gossip and talk which is false, malicious, or harsh. Write only what you believe to be true and relevant, voicing your opinion with kindness and patience. Avoid worldly, partisan, or discriminatory topics and remarks that are patriarchal, misogynist, sexist, racist, anti-semitic, pro-nazi, bio essentialist, xenophobic, transphobic, homophobic or any other kind of hateful views even if such advocacy is couched in terms of ‘discussing the texts’ or ‘maintaining tradition’.

We are in Samsara, a circulair process.
We are used to behave/think/speak in a certain way.
Every time We do so, it leaves an imprint in the stream of our consciousness, but we are absolute not aware of this.
It makes me think of the groove of an LP: everytime you play it, it gets deeper and deeper. This is 2: the creation of a habitat Patterson.
It also creates experiences in the future (1) because these imprints will never go away and they WILL arise when the conditions are there.
THis is all happening because of our ignorance: we think that what we experience is the real world. Sadly it isn’t. This is an concept that everytime it happens, it also strengthens the concept (3).
The same for (4): if you curse and do that several times, each time it becomes easyer to do so.
Unless we are completely mindful of what we are doing and what is going on in our mind.
