Guest guest Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 Friends: The Seven Latent Tendencies (anusaya): 1: The Latent Tendency to Sense-Desire.2: The Latent Tendency to Aversion & Anger.3: The Latent Tendency to Sceptical Doubt.4: The Latent Tendency to Speculative Views.5: The Latent Tendency to the Conceit 'I am'.6: The Latent Tendency to Craving for Becoming.7: The Latent Tendency to plain Blind Ignorance. These are inherently deeply imbedded, hidden in the corners of the mind, where these subtle mentalitiesever again exert their detrimental influence over ourthoughts, speech & behaviour. Tainted by these impureinclinations, any intention & action will remain havingdisadvantageous & painful future after-effects... The only tool capable of overcoming & extracting themis the quite Noble Eightfold Way: The Ariya Magga: 1. Right View (sammā-ditthi)2. Right Motivation (sammā-sankappa)3. Right Speech (sammā-vācā)4. Right Action (sammā-kammanta)5. Right Livelihood (sammā-ājīva)6. Right Effort (sammā-vāyāma)7. Right Awareness (sammā-sati)8. Right Concentration (sammā-samādhi) The Noble Eightfold Path Explained, Ledi Sayadaw (WHEEL 245/247).
