#2 Right thought.
Sankappa.
Right thought refers to the energy behind our actions.Right intention can be described as a commitment to ethical and mental self-improvement.
When we first start out on the path it is difficult to have the right thoughts and intentions because we are just beggining to learn and are not really sure what they are.
Things will be uncovered and realized as we continue. The Buddhas way is an ever deepening process.
Buddha described three types of right intentions.
Renunciation which means resistance to desire and craving.
The intention of good will, meaning resistance to feelings like anger and aversion.
The intention of harmlessness meaning not to think cruelly or violently.
To develop compassion.
Our thoughts are incredibly powerful and have a great impact on our lives.
