OUR RESPONSIBILITY IS RIGHT THINKING: AWARENESS AND INTEREST

| China Retreat 2014 Opening Instructions (17:50-18:28)

We try to know what is happening in the mind.

When there is craving or aversion and you recognize that there is craving or aversion, this is right view, this is meditation.

What are you trying to do when you sit? We are trying to know, to be aware. What is happening in the body and mind let it be. This is not your responsibility. It is the effect of past kamma.

Your responsibility is right thinking, awareness and interest, and maintaining the awareness.
