Yogi: I was doing walking meditation and it was absolutely boring just to be aware and not letting any stories come up.

I looked at this boring mind and asked myself: where would I want to be? I wouldn’t want to be at home and I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else on vacation. It just felt right; it was okay to be bored.

It was a nice experience.

Sayadaw: Good – it’s an insight. Wisdom came and found what is as it is and it was perfect; otherwise we could get overwhelmed by our concepts and beliefs about it. 

You used a little bit of wisdom; you decided to question the truth of what the mind was feeling and then more was seen.

It’s a clever question because if the mind is bored now, it suggests that it wants something else.
