Sasanarakkha Buddhist Sanctuary Retreat Zoom Q&A Group B 12 January 2023 (57:40-1:00:22)
Yogi: I see that at times my mind is craving suffering. Is this nature or is my mind crazy?
Sayadaw: This is so normal; it is crazy but you’re not alone. The Buddha called us puthujjana or mad worldlings.
The mind has habit patterns and there is craving for suffering. Look at the number of people who go to watch sad or tragic movies. We want to go and experience all this suffering.
The good news is that when we know it is crazy to crave suffering, that is already one step out of it.
