Jonathan Prescott shows how mindful awareness of mental “seeds”—habits, emotions, and thoughts—can help practitioners move beyond reactive patterns toward insight and wisdom. Using the model of store consciousness and mind consciousness, Jonathan explains how seeds can proliferate and fill our experience, and encourages us to meet arising thoughts and emotions with kindness. The threefold practice of mindfulness, concentration, and insight offers a practical way to respond skillfully to difficulties, ultimately guiding each person toward greater freedom and skillful action.
