Summary
Suffering arises because we try to make reality match our conditioned preferences, which are based on past experiences stored in the mind and heart.

| 0:56.8 | I'm not talking about intellectual talk, personal talk, what I like, what I don't like, what I want, |
| 1:01.8 | what my goals are, what's right, all kinds of stuff goes on in there. It's all because of impressions |

| 1:29.1 | you hold on to it down there. So it's going to try to release. That's, to me, that's what we call |
