Sweden Retreat 2019 File 25 Day 9 Group C (1:00:00-1:03:55)
Yogi: It’s useful to develop one-pointed concentration and then open up to vipassana mode.
Sayadaw: Yes, it’s possible. But, it’s always important for samadhi to be matched with its level of wisdom. Samma samadhi means right or wise concentration – so, always pair it with wisdom; then the effects are wholesome.
If wisdom is not there, then it’s possible for greed or aversion to come in and work with the samadhi and then the effects can be quite devastating.
Yogi: Usually, when something happens, the concentration latches onto it.
Sayadaw: Yes, it can be very bad and it can become dangerous – if it is fear, it may trigger a panic attack.
