WE DON’T NEED PSYCHEDELIC DRUGS FOR SPIRITUAL GROWTH (Copy)

Swiss Retreat 2019 Group Interviews 17 (13:21-14:06)

Yogi: There are drugs that are consumed not for pleasure but for spiritual growth. Can I use them?

Sayadaw: I’m not in favor of that. 

I haven’t done those things and don’t know the effects. I can’t give you advice about that.

I would say that the strength that comes from within the mind is sufficient – the mind has limitless potential in itself and we can bring it out without external help.
