HOW MUCH CONCENTRATION IS NEEDED TO PRACTICE AWARENESS
Yogi: How much concentration do we need to practice?
Sayadaw: If you know the object, that is enough concentration. You cannot know the object if you don’t have the concentration.
Momentary concentration is enough to practice vipassana meditation.
If you know the object, you already have samadhi. If you continue to be aware, this samadhi will increase. You don’t need too much concentration to practice vipassana.
