Reconditioning the Mind
There
is a place at a certain point for overcoming concepts and conditioning,
but there is also a lot of reconceiving and reconditioning. The idea is
to transform the mind, not just to extract it from all cultural
influences. Buddhism itself is a culture—one that attempts to train and
condition minds in specific ways conducive to awakening.
