The Eight Worldly Winds were described in the Pali Canon as the conditions that move through the world:
Ultimately we find ourselves grasping at the first of each couplet, and resisting the latter. The Buddha used these conditions to teach that all things are impermanent and unreliable, so we best not rely on them for our liberation from suffering.
Using insights from the addiction model, Sean explores how we can free ourselves from the fixation that accompanies these worldly conditions.
