Description

In this episode, we explore the third group of beautiful mental factors — twelve qualities that arise in six pairs, bringing harmony and balance to the mind. These include tranquility, lightness, softness, adaptability, healthiness, and straightness of both the mental body and consciousness.

Each pair serves a specific purpose:

  • Tranquility calms worry and passion.
  • Lightness removes sluggishness and dullness.
  • Softness dispels rigidity, wrong views, and conceit.
  • Adaptability allows the mind to adjust to challenges.
  • Healthiness restores confidence and faith.
  • Straightness overcomes deception and crookedness.

Together, these twelve factors refine and purify the mind, supporting deep meditation and wholesome consciousness.
