Yogi: Seeing the moon, I feel a sense of joy and gratitude. The mountain here is so beautiful and so are the flowers. I’m aware of them and the next thing I’m saying that they are beautiful.

And I say ‘it’s lobha’. 

Sayadaw: You see a flower and you think it’s beautiful, just know that. You don’t have to label it as greed because you’re not even sure that it’s greed. Just because you think that it’s beautiful doesn’t immediately make it greed.

Know as it is; don’t label it unless it’s very clear to you that it’s greed.

I’m seeing, seeing is happening; I notice it’s yellow and that I’m starting to think it’s beautiful. And this is what it feels like.

Don’t have a fixed idea that when I’m mindful I have to do this and that mustn’t happen. It’s like if this happens, this is happening now and if that happens, that is happening now.

And you’re mindful every moment.

We don’t have to fix the future or fix the object.
