BUILDING RIGHT ATTITUDE WITH RIGHT INFORMATION

See this content in the original post

Yogi: I know all the right information and yet the suffering is there. I believe my attitude is not right. When I’m really in it, I still don’t have the right attitude. What am I missing?

Sayadaw: The practice is like a game. The more you play, the more you get it right and the more you become skilful.

You have all the right information like wrong attitude is when you don’t want something and you want something else, and right attitude is when the mind is accepting and welcoming.

Whether we can recognize it or not in the moment, that’s the game; what attitude are we operating from.

Every time you recognize your attitude whether it’s right or wrong, that’s an insight into your own practice and it’s a skill that you build. Each time you spot it, it helps you to see it more often. The more often you spot it, the less it will get in your way.
