IMS Retreat 2012 Q&A Group E No.1 (00:15-01:52)
Yogi: When you talk about viriya, you say you don’t like the word effort for viriya and you prefer ‘patience’ and ‘perseverance’, I have a good sense of patience, but perseverance has a sense of enduring it.
Sayadaw: I mean just not giving up – persisting until you reach your destination.
