THE PRACTICE BECOMES SMOOTH WHEN WE UNDERSTAND CAUSE AND EFFECT

Penang Retreat Nov 2019 Q&A Group 4 Round 4 (22:10-23:35)

Yogi: The mind realizes that happenings are due to conditioning, cause and effect. Wanting and not wanting are conditioned; defilements are due to cause and effect. 

Sayadaw: If the mind has that much understanding, the practice becomes smooth, practice is not difficult.

When the mind understands cause and effect, it already has wisdom.
