FEAR OF ADDICTION TO GOOD EXPERIENCES

Shwe Oo Min Dhammasukha Tawya 2019 Vassa Q&A 20190829

Yogi: How can I not be addicted to good experiences?

Sayadaw: Whatever is happening, just notice that it is happening – if there is liking, just notice that.

Don’t try to create anything nor push any experience away – try to be aware of what is going on.

Yogi: How do I use the good energy of the strong samadhi wisely because it feels like a drug.

Sayadaw: Yes, you can use it and if you know that you have attachment, that’s enough.

If you don’t know, it becomes a problem; but if you know there’s attachment, it is okay.
