And when the winds blow at you, you will be moved—not physically, but your mind moves. [[_bli (in progress)/Zettleteskan/The Eight Winds]] are things from the outside that happen to us; they come to us like a wind blowing at us, and our mind moves. A wind is something that blows at you, meaning it comes from the outside and makes your mind move. We are constantly agitated by these Eight Winds. The first pair is Praise and Criticism The second pair is Fame and Slander The third pair is Gain and Loss The fourth pair is Pleasure and Pain If you do not allow yourself to be moved by the Eight Winds, then you have some Samadhi. What is the advantage of having Samadhi? Having Samadhi is very important because you develop the skills to choose to be unaffected by the outside. It is a life choice.
