| Mahasi Sayadaw’s Admonition | |
|
It is dana that one can rely on for one’s happiness, wealth, and insurance against lowliness. Sila, too, is a real refuge in that it makes one lovely, charming, and free from rebirth in the lower worlds. Avoid evil, do good, cleanse your mind. This is the teaching of the Budddhas. Let there be only a few things that you attend to, a few words that you say, and a few hours that you spend sleeping; love solitude, be docile, and seek good friends. These are the six factors contributing to good dhammas. Constant mindfulness leads to insight into causal relationship between mind and body, their impermanence, suffering and egolessness that leads to nibbana. This meditation center should be a quiet place where yogis develop saddha and practice dana, sila, and bhavana. |
