Swiss Retreat 2019 Group Interviews 5 (42:00-43:16) with Sayadaw U Tejaniya
Yogi: How do I deal with mental pain arising from conflict with other people?
Sayadaw: At first, you try to avoid the object and watch your own mental pain. And when there is no mental pain, see if you can deal with that object and whether it changes the way you deal with the object.
It’s a learning process – always taking yourself away to deal with your own mental pain so that you can see how to better deal with it.
The sooner we can deal with mental pain, like if we notice a little bit and we start working on it immediately, it can relieve it faster. If we start much later on, it takes longer because a lot of stuff gets rooted in the mind.
