“The essence of today’s talk is this: this is not you. None of this is you. That’s why if you say ‘I have a habit that I can’t come out of or break,’ well… yeah, because it’s not you who has the habit to come out of or break. Because it’s not you who picked it up. Habits are simply patterns of vipaka.”

I misremembered the exact word then, a “pattern” would probably have a bit of a different connotation than “collection.”
