Don't Look Down on the Defilements
About the book
Don't Look Down on the Defilements presents practical guidance on Satipatthana meditation based on the personal experience and teachings of Sayadaw U Tejaniya. Rather than setting forth an exhaustive formal manual, the book compiles core instructions and pointers arising from real questions addressed in meditation interviews, along with concise reflections for contemplation.
The text clarifies that meditation is fundamentally the work of the mind, requiring relaxation and continuous awareness rather than forceful concentration. Readers will discover essential principles regarding cultivating right attitude, maintaining mindfulness across everyday activities, and closely observing subtle defilements without aversion, suppression, or personal identification.
