WHEN WE ARE NOT WATCHING CAREFULLY, OUR BELIEFS APPEAR SOLID

Finland Retreat 2019 Week 3 Day 2 Group F Q&A (50:55-52:00)

Yogi: I have always believed myself to be a bad person from young and this dosa can be overwhelming.

Sayadaw: When we feel overwhelmed with unwholesome minds, we can get to believing that we have it all the time – we blame ourselves and we name ourselves bad people – but remember that no mind ever holds some quality forever. 

It cannot because everything is conditioned – so, if something is triggered, only at that time will those minds arise. But if something happens frequently, that’s how we hold that view because we’re not watching carefully.
