This talk details the concept of hoi, meaning regret, as the first of four indeterminate mental formations, examining its transformation from positive to negative energy. Buddhist psychology involves understanding mental formations like Tamsa Bhakten within tamhan, citta, samskara, and eight consciousnesses, including Alaya and Manas. Mindfulness reveals motivations behind actions, thoughts, and speech, guiding transformation and liberation.
