Content / Description
Right awareness: a blank/dark/dull mind is not right awareness/sati, the mind should become bright and sharp; Hindrances: sloth & torpor, anger, greed, they all come when we start practicing; Pain while sitting in meditation: it's not the muscles or bones that twist, it's the citta that twist; Walking meditation: after walking for hours, it's easier to sit and get concentrated; Birth&Death: we are born to die and most people just kill the time until death; Sati: we think we are mindful but only when we reach 50% of sati we can see how unaware we are; Surrendering: surrendering 100% to your teacher and Dhamma is the best thing you can do for your practice.
