Swiss Retreat 2019 Group Interviews 7 (49:30-51:28)
Yogi: My working meditation is chopping vegetables during the retreat.
Today, I suddenly realized that I was really bored chopping the same vegetables for a whole hour. I tried to find out what it was being bored and it was clearly aversion and wanting. I was thinking about cooking and was chopping faster to get rid of the boredom.
I then remembered Sayadaw saying that it was just aversion and to let it be. From then on, I chopped with joy.
Sayadaw: Sometimes the mind discovers how to ease itself.
You see how all these information and the awareness, they all work together.
