CAN DAILY AWARENESS LEAD TO ENLIGHTENMENT?

|China 2018 Retreat File: 20180528 Q&A 4 (1:32:24-1:34:46)

Yogi: Is the samadhi of daily awareness strong enough to attain Nibbana?

Sayadaw: Certainly; practicing daily mindfulness continuously is good enough.

When we try to practice day after day, the awareness, wisdom and samadhi keep increasing.

The samadhi and quality of mind are different between 10-day practice and 1-month practice; likewise between 1-month practice and 1-year practice; and again between 1-year practice and 5-year practice. The quality of mind keeps growing slowly but steadily when the yogi practices continuously. 

Yogis who have not practiced awareness meditation continuously over a long period; they cannot imagine how deep the samadhi of continuous practice can be.
