Hey Nnonnth, don’t leave me here :))
We need some bridge builders in the house, just take a deep breath and come backPerhaps the differentiation is that once this happens, a person would still recognise the desire but not be driven by it? So the “desire nature” itself doesn’t necessarily fade away (to nothing) but it’s emphasis on a person’s life fades away?
Just wondering
EmelgeeI agree emelgee.

the energy that was attatched or bound to that desire is now free(er) to be directed elsewhere. to me, essentially it’s all energy, but the direction and focus of that energy changes once the desire no longer is transmuted
salam (peace)
woops, i meant to say “once the desire has been transmuted”
………….yeah, proof reading would be a good idea…….
Hi Emelgee,
As Zhang, Sanfeng says, one extinguishes his heart of passions and desires. There is no desire for sex, for unhealthy foods, for money, etc. They become extinguished. Your heart becomes like a baby’s when born into the world. It just looks around not knowing anything.

Hi Mat,
Yes, desires disintegrate there is more one-pointedness on the object. The Japanese call this concentration joriki. It becomes stronger as desire fades gradually.
