INTENSE DEFILEMENT ARISES SIMPLY BECAUSE WE ARE NOT READY WITH AWARENESS

|China 2018 Retreat File: 20180530 Q&A 8 (39:26-39:55)

Yogi: Big fear arises when seeing blood or great heights.

Sayadaw: How does big fear come? Big fear comes because you are not aware – because awareness, samadhi, and wisdom are not ready.

If awareness, samadhi, and wisdom are present, fear cannot overwhelm the whole mind.

Because delusion is there, therefore fear can arise strongly.
