TeacherENWhatever you do.
TeacherENBecause of moment to moment, then later you become momentum. You gain the momentum.
TeacherENBeginning, we try to put the awareness. First, effort and faith will put the awareness, and later again and again and again become
TeacherENhabit. Habit is the second nature. So become natural, become nature.
TeacherENAny subject, if you have momentum, everything you can do, everything easier. If you have a momentum, every subject, everything becomes easier and
TeacherENmore benefit.
TeacherENMake it habit. Habit make a habit. So habit becomes second nature.
TeacherENNow your awareness is
TeacherENwelcome and lose, come back and lose. And if you get the momentum, awareness naturally, you forget to be aware. But awareness is in your mind. It becomes nature.
TeacherENThe time you can understanding, awareness is not you.

TeacherENIf the mind is happening or the mind is walking.
TeacherENWhy people difficult to watch the mind? Because their practice not enough.
TeacherENFor example,

TeacherENyou can start question answer.
YogiENShadow when I'm do walking meditation there is one nun. She want to ask some question but she
YogiENafraid. So let me call her.
YogiVIHạnh tiểu hả? Con hạnh cô là hạnh tiểu. Cái gì tiểu? Hạnh gì? Tên gì?
YogiVIÀ bây giờ rất mượn cái mic rồi bây giờ hỏi lại muốn hỏi cái gì hỏi đi. Rồi rồi cái ngài thật sư trả lời đừng có sợ. Không có ăn thịt cá gì đâu. Cười.
YogiENShe asked me one way I'm walking I say better ask because I have something to do with daily activity.
TeacherENSo then you ask she talk to you.
YogiENShe talk to me but I say talk to I translate.

YogiENShe afraid. She afraid of you.
YogiVICon muốn a diêu Phật kính bạch trên thầy sư và sư à chị sư ờ con có câu hỏi là nhiều khi mà ngồi thiền ừm có nghĩa là ngồi thiền ờ con ngồi quán hơi thở thì cái hơi thở ừm có những lúc là nó sẽ bị mất và không cảm nhận được và cái cảm giác từ toàn thân nó sẽ là một cảm giác rất là nhẹ không có một cái cảm giác.
YogiENWhen she do the sitting meditation sometimes she sees that her breath almost nothing disappear and the feeling very light from the top to the bottom.
YogiVIỪ. Cảm giác nhẹ ha.
TeacherENWhen the mind calm down when the mind calm down
TeacherENobject it becomes subtle. So be careful and continue notice as much as you know or
TeacherENthen you choose another obvious transition also can aware.
TeacherENIf you become subtle if you focus too much the mind become more dense. So choose another obvious object also.
TeacherENSometimes sometimes people they try to aware the anabana not only the anabana same time you can check when you aware the anabana also you can know other object or not check.
YogiENCheck other objects too.
TeacherENOr not.
YogiVIDạ. À thầy sư nói rằng á đề nghị với sư cô á là khi mà ngồi mà quan sát hơi thở nhớ quan sát thêm coi thử mình có biết thêm đối tượng nào nữa không. Để ví dụ chẳng hạn như hồi nãy sư nói đó sự xúc chạm của bàn tay nè, tiếng động nè. Đó, mấy cái đó đó nó rất là rõ ràng và đôi khi mình tới đâu hơi thở mình cũng thấy nó.
YogiVIDạ vâng. Dạ con có một câu hỏi đó là khi mình đang ở đây thì mình có thể thiền quán được cái tâm của mình để khi trở về với cuộc sống ở.
YogiVISinh hoạt sinh hoạt của chùa chiền á. Sinh hoạt của chùa đó. À.
YogiVIThì khi làm việc thì làm sao để mình quán được tâm của mình.
YogiENWhen I'm here I can practice meditation. I can practice mindfulness. But if I go back to my temple I do the the satsana work. How how to be aware?
TeacherENThat's why now here you need to learn the daily activity practice more.
YogiVIVì vậy tôi mới khuyên các bạn là ngay trong cái cái sinh hoạt hàng ngày bây giờ nè, ngay ở trong trong cái thiền viện này bạn phải nhớ là duy trì chánh niệm. Hồi nãy mình nói đi, đứng, nằm, ngồi, ăn, uống, ngủ, nghỉ, đưa tay, đi chân cho nó có thói quen rồi mình về nhà mình mới tập được.
TeacherENEvery difficulty is because of practice not enough.
YogiVITất cả những cái khó khăn nào đều do mình khó, mình không có thực tập. Mình tu ở đây thôi mà về nhà thôi mình bỏ. Thành ra về nhà mình cũng tập giống như ở đây vậy. Mình uống ly nước mình cũng duy trì chánh niệm. Mình lấy một cái đồ gì là mình cũng nhớ duy trì chánh niệm. Mở cửa đóng cửa mình duy trì chánh niệm. Thì bây giờ mình tập ở đây trước rồi nè cho nó có thói quen đem về nhà ở vị chùa.
TeacherENNow you you walking meditation every every step now this this 10 day you whatever you go you try to be aware every step then become 10 day habit 10 10 day get a momentum and later whatever you go naturally awareness is there.
TeacherENAnd also daily activity when your daily life why you are lost the awareness because eagerness
TeacherENwhatever you you have busy busy so many thing to do so the mind become intention very strong eagerness come hurry hurry you want to be hurry because of this mind then awareness gone.
TeacherENSo that's why you should be learn how to aware the mental state also must be have habit.
TeacherENIn real life in daily life
TeacherENmany thing to do and also the mind is want to whatever you do the mind want to be finish want to be faster. So because of this craving
TeacherENthe mind is eagerness is strong then awareness is gone. The mind not stable.
TeacherENIf you want to if you want to practice in real life you must careful how to aware the mind also necessary.
TeacherENNow you should be practice now whatever you do checking your mind relax or not relax or not or not.
TeacherENIt's make a habit and later what in your daily life then you check your mind then you huriness you notice then eagerness come down then you can maintain awareness easier.
TeacherENThe mind agitate then difficult to practice.
TeacherENAnd also you need to scare how to aware your agitation mind. If you are scared then you watching the agitation mind that agitation mind can calm down then you can maintain that awareness.

YogiVICái một cái một cái cái lý do khác nữa mà giúp cho mình có thể tu tập được một cách dễ dàng đó là mình có thể thực tập được á là cái đức tin của mình nó pháp hành.
TeacherENIn the in the Buddha time there is a known meditation center. They come and listen in the mantra and they go back their home and they practice.

YogiVISư sư thầy sư thầy hỏi là cô có muốn tập không nè? Có có muốn thực tập không? Có cái ý tu không?

TeacherENOkay. Now you can.
YogiVIÀ vậy thì bây giờ đó cứ tiếp tục coi thử sao. Tới cuối khóa mới biết ạ.
YogiENRealization.
YogiVIDạ.
YogiENI can tell you a little.
YogiVIDạ. Bây giờ thôi được thôi. Ai đưa tên trước sư thấy à bên này trước phải không?
YogiVIỜ hỏi đi. Hỏi đi.
YogiVIHỏi ta hỏi đi. Ta cầm sẵn ta hỏi đi. Nói lớn lớn sư nghe.
YogiVIDạ. Thưa sư, con có một cái câu hỏi như thế này là
YogiVIà khi mà con thực tập á 45 phút đầu á thì con cảm thấy.
YogiVIĐang nói về ngồi thiền chắc ha. Ngồi hả? Đang khi ngồi hay sao?
YogiVIDạ. Đang khi ngồi con cảm thấy rất là an lạc. Nhưng mà 45 phút sau đó thì con thực tập như lời thiền sư nói á là chánh niệm những gì mà đang xảy ra trong tâm. Nhưng mà khi mà cái suy nghĩ của con á.
YogiVIKhoan cho sư sư hỏi một cái này. Cô nói là 45 phút đầu cô ngồi cô thấy tâm cô rất an lạc là cô không có tập tâm. Cô tập cái gì? Hơi thở thôi.
YogiVIDạ.
YogiENShe say that in the sitting meditation the first 45 minutes I'm my mind very calm very very a lot of sukha because I don't I don't I'm not aware of my mind I'm aware of just the body or breath thing like that.
YogiVINhưng mà 45 phút sau á thì tâm con lại bị phỏng tâm á. Thì con cố gắng chánh niệm những cái gì mà xảy ra trong tâm con. Nhưng mà do cái tâm là sanh và diệt rất là nhanh cho nên con cảm thấy cái cái tim con á đập rất là nhanh.
YogiVINhư vậy tức là cái giai đoạn 45 phút sau không có được yên ổn giống lúc đầu. Phải vậy không?
YogiVIDạ.
YogiENBut the next 45 minutes the mind start thinking a lot. Yes. And I try to be aware so the mind very agitated and then I don't feel peaceful like the first 45.
TeacherENYes. Because you try very hard. I mean it's it is trying is not right.
TeacherENBecause you liking the peaceful you don't like this thought and you resist and try very hard to go away make the mind to calm down and this attitude is not right that's why you become more difficult.
YogiVIDạ không. Con muốn hỏi như vậy này là tại vì là con chánh niệm trong những gì mà xảy ra trong tâm con á thì lúc đó tim con đập rất là nhanh thì lúc đó con không biết là thực tập như thế nào. Một là relax hai là
YogiVIchánh niệm những gì xảy ra trong tâm.
YogiENShe say that at the second 45 minutes she feel her heart beating a lot. So because of what? Her heart beating.
TeacherENBeating a lot because the mind start to resist. That's why the agitation come. The heartbeat coming.
TeacherENBecause the heartbeat faster because of the mind is agitated.
TeacherENWhy the mind is agitated? The mind don't like some experience.
TeacherENWorry, disliking, worry.
TeacherENWhatever.
TeacherENYou come back you want to be peaceful. One thing also there then the mind start to agitate.
TeacherENSo thinking remember the instruction.
TeacherENRemember the instruction I said.
TeacherENDon't want to control the experience. If your mind calm down you recognize the mind is calm down. If your mind is agitated you need to recognize the mind is agitated. Very simple. Very simple. And try not try to control. Not try to change. Try to be try to be aware and also only you need to try to think right away.
TeacherENEverything is nature. Peaceful mind also Dhamma. Agitation mind also Dhamma.
TeacherENSo this one peaceful this one is suffering. You attach to the this as much as you attach to the peaceful then
TeacherENas much as you suffer. This is a craving. This is aversion. You need to think about this pendulum.
TeacherENSo
TeacherENthis peaceful also experience object meditation object and agitation also meditation object. So you need to accept and watch with the equanimity.
TeacherENSo when you are peaceful you like very much you want very much and if the mind agitation you want to get rid of want to get rid of it this is not
TeacherENmeditation idea.
TeacherENSo meditator need to be middle way away the inside middle middle and watching just recognize is present just recognize this is unpresent that's all not involved not involved if you involve then you the pendulum swing is very strong.
TeacherENThat's why what are we trying we need to you need to understanding what what are we trying now we are trying to practice right I remind the yogi many time what are you trying you you should try only three things
TeacherENtry to think right attitude right view as a nature and try to be aware whatever happening good or bad or whatever and trying to maintain awareness moment to moment. This should be trying you should not control the experience.
TeacherENRemember that whatever you get it good things whatever you get it not because of you want
TeacherENnot because of you want whatever you get all the good things many good things you have for example now is a peaceful relax is not because of you want because of conditioning.
TeacherENOkay. So just.
