The mind must always be aware of something. If you want to have an anchor
English
to begin with, to be aware of, you can use that. Or be aware of whatever arises, whatever is noticed.
English
So, for example, if you like the breath, you can start with the breath.
English
Or if you're used to rising, falling of the abdomen, you can do rising, falling of the abdomen.
English
Or
English
you just notice whatever the mind notices.
English
It might change objects, and that's fine too.
MY
[Burmese speech]
English
But don't look for an object that isn't already seen,
English
that isn't already known or noticed by you.
English
Don't try to make an unclear object clear.
English
The important thing is to have sustained awareness, which means just that you continue to be aware, in a steady way, for as long as possible.
[Burmese segment]

Yogi Anh . Remember
English
the three yogi jobs.
English
First, it's to have right view.
English
And right view is to
English
either see things as they are, or right view is to remember that
English
this is just nature, or these are just natural processes. Whatever works for you.
English
That's the first yogi job, to bring in right view. And then, with right view, you are aware of
English
whatever the mind has noticed or is paying attention to, to have awareness. Right view and awareness. And the third one is to maintain that right view with awareness, for as long as you possibly can.
English
And if you lose it, you just start again.
English
That's all.
[Burmese segment]
English
This retreat has a schedule. And the schedule is to always be
English
trying to remember to be mindful.
