There's so many ways this is applicable in my mind.

If she puts the onions first before the meat.

I love that fourth aspect of experience, fourth way of clinging.

I love to study this.

I find it very, very juicy.

I find it very kind of demanding, profound, counterintuitive, and so rich emotionally.

in possibility of freedom and joy and love and compassion.

And so it's just the Buddha saying, look, I'm going to add a fourth chapter here.

I'm going to give it its own chapter because it's very rich.

The Buddha agrees with us, Dan, and he's saying,

You know, there's a particular way we cling.

There's a particular way we fixate.

There's a particular way we take up something.

And it's this very usual, habitual, very common way that is identification.

When we take something to be me or mine.

As soon as we make something me in an absolute way, this is me.

The Buddha says this happens a lot, and a lot of our suffering, trouble, and being away from the experience of freedom,

lies there in that little movement of mind.

And in all these ways, it's interesting to notice that this is a movement of mind we're talking about.

Clinging is something that happens in the mind.
