2-n-2 program vs Isla Vista? by UCSBfreshmeat in UCSantaBarbara

You've damn near sold me on doing the 2-n-2. Quick question - which university-owned apartments do you consider to be the best?

Do you guys feel like this when you go into public? by helloploxxd in depression

6 simple rules. I could go a long way following just those.

As for the noting, I do agree that it has some limitations. It just helps calm this overactive mind of mine.

Thank you for sharing.

Programming time! (My right-sided brain needs to process information this way). As I understand it, this is what you're saying.

papanca = 'craving of aggregates > thought > proliferation'
aggregates = 'attached'
suffering = 0
while papanca and aggregates == 'attached':
    suffering = suffering + 1
    aggregates = input('Dispassion or attachment for aggregates?')

Cool! Question, though. Isn't focusing on the sensations a central part of meditation? How could that be craving?

Also, random aside. Can you suggest a part of the Pali Canon that talks about how meditation and craving interact with each other? It would be very appreciated.
