NOT SHOOTING THE SECOND ARROW
Yogi: I was touched by Sayadaw saying that everything was Dhamma – both the positive and negative – and I was in a state of deep quiet. I couldn’t even walk; I had to stand.
I could notice all these changes in the mind – being aware and being not aware.
This morning, I was practicing seeing when I heard a loud noise in the sky. I noticed then that the looking and listening grew stronger.
Sayadaw: It is important to understand everything is the Dhamma, whether we judge it as good or bad, but essentially it is just the Dhamma.
If we can remember that what is pleasant or unpleasant for us, they’re both equally the mind, it is just equally the mind – if it is just the mind, then it is just the Dhamma.
Then we won’t have another reaction to it.
