SUSTAINING THE PRACTICE POST-RETREAT

Swiss Retreat 2019 Group Interviews 14 (4:00-7:27)

Yogi: After a retreat, the practice kept on for 3 to 4 weeks, but after that, it couldn’t be sustained.

Sayadaw said the other day that if you want to do it, you have to simplify your life. I asked myself what I had to do, but realized that I couldn’t prepare for it and have to trust in the conditions.

Sayadaw: You do try to be mindful at home, but you’re saying that you can’t sustain it in the same manner as in the center beyond 3 to 4 weeks.

We know our lives best – we have to find a way that is suitable for us to sustain the practice ourselves and what works for us.
