When I was a teenager, my teacher taught me: If you know it, be happy. That really stuck in my mind – I could be angry or do anything unskillful, but when I was aware of it, I would be happy.

The effect of that was that once the awareness built up if something unskillful came up in the mind, it didn’t stay. It is so powerful because the view is right view – you see it, you know it, and it’s gone.
