EXPRESSIONS OF REALIZATION!

Penang Retreat 2019 Group 4 Round 4 (56:10-57:27)

Yogi: The mind sometimes gets stuck in the tension, resistance and defilement. When the attitude is right, the mind says ‘Ooh, disliking is happening’, and the mind relaxes, but when the mind doesn’t see, then the tension becomes tighter.

Sayadaw: I like to hear the yogi report what they have understood for themselves. 

This morning a yogi reported ‘Ooh, ooh, this happens’, and another yogi reported ‘Aah, aah’. I like these words because they’re words of realization. 

When they notice what is going on, they become surprised – that’s why they can exclaim ‘Ooh and aah’.

These are nice sound because they are wisdom sound.
