GREED IS HARDER TO DETECT
Yogi: I saw many things I like during the walk but I couldn’t see the greed. But when I saw things I didn’t like, immediately I saw aversion. For me, greed is more difficult to detect than aversion.
Sayadaw: Aversion is always easier to recognize because aversion is quite rough. Greed is not always obvious because greed is kind of sugar-coated and tastes nice.
When greed is very strong, when it is grasping, it is obvious. When greed gets to the point that it is causing tension in you, then you’ll know it.
