CHECKING HOW THE MIND IS BEING AWARE

Sasanarakkha Buddhist Sanctuary Retreat Zoom Q&A Group A+B 14 January 2023 (1:36:50-1:40:55)

Yogi: How do I cultivate the light but persistent awareness?

Sayadaw: Be aware with an eye on your mind, the state of your mind – whether your mind is at ease, comfortable and contented, whether it is moving forward in that way. You will then notice if the state of the mind is getting more stable and bright. That is good enough; it shows the work is getting done. And, even if the mind is not stable and bright, the work is also getting done when awareness is present. Recognize your own effort.
