Thank you Lal! _/|\_
Also, I just read more details from the Satipatthana Sutta which provides the basic instructions to deal with conditions (‘battles’) in everyday life:
“get into a calm and stable mindset that is devoid of greed, hate, and ignorance; keep a modest attitude without any sense of superiority; be forthright and honest, and keep the mind on the main object of cooling down”
I believe this is a type of kāyānupassanā to be done continuously that will help get one over the Sotapanna mountain while at the same time help others at whatever level of functioning they may be…even if it is just a positive role model.
With metta to all,
Donna :)
