TO PRACTICE AT HOME, MAINTAIN THE MOMENTUM OF AWARENESS

Singapore Q&A 19 November 2022 (09:42-10:28) with Sayadaw U Tejaniya

Yogi: Sayadaw’s teaching is aware, aware and aware. The mind gets bored after a while and I’ll stop practicing at home.

Sayadaw: At home, you need the continuity of practice – that makes the mind settle down. When you don’t have enough practice, when the mind is so messy, how can the mind settle down?

If you practice more continuously at home, it is easier for the mind to calm down; otherwise if the mind is too complicated, it is difficult to meditate because the agitated mind already has a lot of momentum.

If your awareness is weak, how can the mind settle down?
