MEDITATION IS HAPPENING SO LONG AS THERE IS MINDFULNESS

Swiss Retreat 2019 Group Interviews 15 (31:50-33:41)

Sayadaw: We have to find out for ourselves what helps the mind to be mindful throughout the day.

I used to sit in a coffee shop very often in Burma when I was working – to just gather my mind in between work.

Yogi: I’m thinking of a longer retreat and am considering bringing my guitar along because it will help me to relax.

Sayadaw: Sure, play the guitar mindfully. A yogi came to Burma for a retreat with me with a guitar.

So long as there is mindfulness, meditation is happening. It doesn’t matter what you’re doing. It could be toilet meditation, eating meditation, swimming meditation or jogging meditation.

Yogi: That’s good to hear.
