THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DEFILEMENT JUDGING AND WISDOM JUDGING

Swiss Retreat 2019 Interviews 2 (1:02:49-1:04:30) with Sayadaw U Tejaniya

Yogi: You say not to judge but to accept everything. But you also say to look at what is wholesome and what is not wholesome. Isn’t that judging?

Sayadaw: You know the difference between something wholesome and unwholesome – that is not what I mean to judge. What I mean to judge is that the mind is not accepting it.

If the mind is differentiating something, but it accepts that this is how it is, that’s fine.

And if it is not accepting it, you know that the mind is not accepting it – that is all.
