RIGHT ATTITUDE MEANS DEVELOPING UNDERSTANDING ABOUT DEFILEMENTS

IMS Retreat 2012 Q&A Group D No.1 (20:18-21:40)

Yogi: I can be aware of what is happening, but it is very hard to have to suffer the experiences.

Sayadaw: Any object, if we observe it with the wrong attitude, then over time, we develop a bad relationship with it; but if you have the right attitude towards any object, a learning experience happens over time.

You try to apply the understanding that the mental feeling is conditioned – there are causes that have led to this effect and it is its own process.

Maybe this language will help you, but you’ll have to try it out yourself, and if it doesn’t, you rely on your memory bank to see what will be helpful.
