Englishlong time. Long time. One time he bird. Many time. And I look at him, it's intentionally he try to do this. Then I ask him, what happening when this is too much? The mind idea is he think this is a bad
Englishwing inside the kamma is bad. Good. So unconsciously the mind like this, want to do this. Then he aware when he's intention mind, then it's only one time, two time finish.
EnglishUnconsciously this idea is you get the one idea, the whole mind believing it's all the time this happening. Continuously. This is the nature of the mind.
EnglishThat's why, Shadow, this is a very good
Englishlesson for me. Right. I have many experience like this. That's why I notice this happen. I don't try to say it must be bad. Surely I notice it can happen. Yeah, yeah. And then I.

Actually, Dhamma hall is not problem. They can't bear square. They are standing because of pain. And sitting. Dhamma hall, you must sit and don't move. So this idea and slowly the mind
