How Our Mind Works 

Our mind can either be our worst enemy or our best friend.

When we fail to see clearly what is going on in our mind it will just run along automatic unconscious programmes, which easily become negative and create suffering for ourselves and others. But if we understand how our mind works we can bring our mind under control and create the peace and happiness we want. Buddhist psychology describes the functioning of the mind in terms of numerous mental factors, such as feeling, discrimination, intention, attention etc. Through recognizing how these are functioning in our mind, moment by moment, we become able to steer our mind in a direction conducive to our lasting well-being.
