Shwe Oo Min Dhammasukha Tawya Malaysian Group Interviews 8 Jan 2020 (00:00-01:40) with Sayadaw U Tejaniya
Yogi: I really like to eat fatty pork; now that I talk about it, the mind has piti, very happy and very light. How can a greed object produce piti?
Sayadaw: This liking produces happiness – it is akusala happiness because piti is different.
Yogi: It feels very light.
Sayadaw: Lobha also produces lightness – that is why greedy people are very fast. Lobha also has a lot of energy; likewise for anger. They are bad energy, not good energy.
Piti has wholesome quality; it is not rough. Piti is the joy arising from wholesome minds. When wholesome minds like samadhi and saddha increase, naturally piti arises.
