Read in book
This book compiles the teachings of Sayadaw U Tejaniya at the Shwe Oo Min Dhamma Sukha Tawya, assembled from translations of his booklet on right attitude, interview excerpts, and morning Dhamma talks. It presents Satipatthāna meditation as an ongoing process of understanding bodily and mental phenomena throughout daily activities, rather than confining practice strictly to the meditation hall.
The chapters explain that meditation is the work of the observing mind, guiding practitioners to avoid excessive force, unnatural concentration, or controlling objects. Sayadaw U Tejaniya highlights the necessity of pairing continuous awareness with wisdom and right attitude to recognize wholesome and unwholesome states. Practitioners learn to investigate the natural operation of cause and effect across every ordinary moment.
