Sasanarakkha Buddhist Sanctuary Retreat Zoom Q&A Group A 6 January 2023 (1:25:22-1:26:21)
Yogi: Sayadaw advices to start being aware of 1 object and then expand it to 2 objects, is that correct?
Sayadaw: You misunderstand the instruction. It is not to expand the awareness – we don’t do anything but to notice something.
Stay on 1 object and if the mind begins to notice more objects, then recognize that the mind is starting to know more objects.
It is not to start to know more objects, but rather if the mind starts to notice more objects, recognize that.
Yogi: If the mind just notices breath, then it notices breath; and if the mind notices breath and seeing, then it notices breath and seeing. Got it. Thank you so much.
