IF THE MIND IS NOT FOCUSING, EVENTUALLY AWARENESS WILL KNOW MORE OBJECTS

|China 2018 Retreat File: 20180529 Q&A 5 (13:28-14:37)

Yogi: I watch the breath during the sit – but the mind can also notice looking, listening and thinking; and the mind can remind itself if awareness is present or not, sharp or not.

Sayadaw: Because awareness is present, although you use anapana as the main object, the mind can also know other things, right?

It is because awareness is present. You also need to accept every experience.
