Swiss Retreat 2019 Group Interviews 1 (3:40-5:12)
Yogi: A lot of judging and disliking arise whenever I meet people. How can I be aware of that?
Sayadaw: It’s just practice – if you keep setting up an intention to be aware, it’ll come.
Right now, you might know later and that’s fine. When you know is when you start; and then, it’ll get earlier and earlier.
We’re so skillful at being mindful of the body and not so skillful at noticing what’s happening in the mind; and that’s why we notice the mind later.
It doesn’t matter – if we know later, we start then, and as we continue to practice it’ll get earlier and earlier.
