Regarding Sexual Desire

The Buddha taught: `I recognize the nature of desire, which is also produced from mind.`

This means that sexual desire is very subtle, and it is also produced from causes and conditions. If there were no causes and conditions, you would live your life peacefully. However, if causes and conditions come together, then thoughts will arise. With one moment of imagination, things can be set into motion, and one is unable to stop it even if one wishes to. One is unable to repress it even if one wants to repress it. This is like a flood that can create an instant catastrophe!
