After having padded the 30 steps of life, we found that there are many bad habits such as improper manners we display that are is need of much improvement. Some of them were already adjusted, much better improved and have been eliminated, such as hatred, selfishness, envy, conceit and arrogance etc.

 

But there are some that we have attempted to adjust but still remain, that are comprised of : lust, fame seeking, drowsiness, flinching, remorse etc., which must be further and more strictly dealt with.

 

The source of all bad conduct comes from defilements hidden in our minds.

 

The first things that we have to learn by heart are:

 

1. The source of all bad conduct comes from defilements hidden in our minds.

 

2. Hindrances towards Impurity Extinction exist in the following forms:

    2.1.  We cannot see them.

    2.2.  Our minds are strongly occupied with the defilements like a fish being accustomed to water.

 

     2.3.  Not knowing efficient methods to extinguish the defilements.

 

In this step, the Lord Buddha taught how to get rid of the defilements and to get absolute results in this proverb: “an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.”

 

That is , when a mind was burnt by defilements; in return, the defilements must be set on fire, which when occurs inside our mind is regarded as Ascetic Practice.
