IMS Retreat 2012 Q&A Group A#1 (1:32:00-1:32:42)
Yogi: You say that it is important to meditate with the eyes open?
Sayadaw: We must be equally skillful at practicing with or without the eyes closed. We must maintain the same quality of mind – the same awareness with the eyes closed, and the same awareness with the eyes open. Then, we can continue to be aware even when we’re at home; otherwise, we’ve to keep closing our eyes if we want awareness to be continuous.
