ACKNOWLEDGE THE DEFILEMENT AND STAY WITH THE FEELING

See this content in the original post

Yogi: When the tension arises, I note the anger rather than say ‘my anger’ because there is no such thing as ‘my anger’.

Sayadaw: Say ‘anger is nature’. We don’t note the anger as ‘anger, anger, anger’. 

How can you be aware of the anger?

Yogi: Just know.

Sayadaw: That’s all – finished. Why do you want to say ‘anger, anger, anger’? You can know the angry feeling – try to be aware and be interested in that feeling.

The feeling intensity changes – be interested in the intensity of feeling.
