The Cognitive Process(continue)If the object appears as something pleasant, he willbe assailed by greed-driven thoughts. If the objectappears as something distractive (repulsive), he willbe assailed by hatred-driven thoughts. If the objectappears as something neither pleasant nor unpleasant,he will be assailed by delusion-driven thoughts.At this level, the individual becomes a hapless objectof his own uncontrollable conceptual proliferations.Professor Karunadasa’s public lecture onPursuit of Happiness: The Buddhist Way12 4/13/2013
