So many times, I have followed my greed and have been lied to.

I would go where the greed sends me and I make the effect because the greed thinks that it’ll be more beautiful there for a second, but I’m so tired after that.

Between IMS and the Forest Refuge, there’s a path through the woods. I really like the path and I would go there to walk back and forth.

One day when I was walking there, Joseph, who lived nearby, came walking by and I said to him: I really like this place.

Joseph said: That’s why you’re here, Sayadaw.

It’s so perfect; I like that.

Everything we do is because we want it; and samsara is long because we want it.
