Swiss Retreat 2019 Q&A 20.05.2019 (01:05-3:30)
Yogi: When we go back home, we have problems to face and decisions to make, and sometimes we don’t have the choice to sit and watch. We need to act. What do we do?
Sayadaw: At home, we don’t always have time to observe for an extended period of time, but we do have our innate wisdom which we have been using to do our work and so on.
However, it is more helpful if we can bring our mind to a balanced and clear state before making decisions because that will be the best decision we can make.
Sometimes we don’t have the time or skill to bring the mind to balance; in that case, we still have to decide with the best possible means we have. If we make a mistake, we can still learn from it. It’s a learning process.
