N: I agree, kusala is to be cultivated. And as you say, the mind is
not ours. We always have to remember the Truth of anattaa, not matter
akusala citta arises or kusala citta arises. And, the effect is a
greater sense of responsibility as we express it in conventional

akusala and the benefit of kusala. Because of conditions.
Nina.
