Sasanarakkha Buddhist Sanctuary Retreat Zoom Q&A Groups A+B 14 January 2023 (1:33:15-1:36:30)
Yogi: Sayadaw keeps on saying to appreciate the awareness, but my mind simply cannot because it always thinks that it’s not enough.
Sayadaw: First, we have to recognize that we have expectations. We must get so much awareness, then only we think it is enough rather than recognizing that what is happening now is enough.
You have to consciously and deliberately reinforce every time that what is happening now is enough so as to change that habit of the mind.
If we don’t see that expectation, it will continue to be there and nothing will ever be enough.
We always put in as much effort as possible and be content and happy with the results we have now; that is the skill in meditation.
