Penang Retreat 2019 Closing Talk (6:35-8:15)
At home, we follow the defilement; we hardly watch them. There’s a lot of attachment at home – we can’t even stand to throw away our old shoes. Therefore, we need to practice more at home; only then defilements cannot grow.
Why can’t meditation wisdom grow? It’s because the mind is full of defilements. If defilements get less and less, only then can wisdom increase.
At home, whatever you see, how do you feel? What is your state of mind? Just check. If you notice the wrong view each time you’re aware, then wisdom can increase.
