IMS Retreat 2012 Q&A Group B#1 (1:45:51-1:49:48)
Yogi: We can bring awareness to whatever we do whether on the cushion or at play. It doesn’t have to be separate from any aspect of life nor so effortful that we need to take breaks from the practice.
The awareness can be with me at all times; we can take a break with awareness.
Sayadaw: You are right! You don’t need to rest because practicing is already resting from the defilements.
