Sasanarakkha Buddhist Sanctuary Retreat Zoom Q&A Group B 8 January 2023 (1:23:25-1:29:32)
Yogi: Usually at the beginning of the retreat, there will be some difficult situations, and some bodily discomfort and it triggers a lot of awareness and immediately after that, there is happiness because the mind recognizes the cultivation of the mind.
Sayadaw: It is healthy for the mind to face challenges because the mind that is too peaceful is not growing and does not mature. The challenges the mind faces, if we’re able to stay mindful, help the mind to learn and grow.
