HOW TO REDUCE SELFING

Swiss Retreat 2019 Group Interviews 15 (06:05-09:20)

Yogi: I feel that there is a lot of identification with all my thinking and experiences, and sometimes there is a glimpse of when it is not like this – when there is space and calmness.

Last few days, there wasn’t so much clinging to the ‘I’; otherwise there was so much stickiness. It’s my wish for some suggestions now.

Sayadaw: You’re not the only one identified with the thinking and experiences.

Be more mindful.

The mindfulness allows the wisdom that understands the nature of things to be present so that the selfing doesn’t feel so sticky. Mindfulness is the only thing that will allow the wisdom to be present.

So, we have to continue to be mindful.
