"If we are attached to having only good experiences in meditation then bad experiences tend to come. If we are averse to bad experiences, good experiences tend not to happen. Meditation is knowing how to simply watch the experience, whether it be good or bad. If we can watch like this, we will realise that things are simply the way they are; there is no inherent good or bad. Our responsibility is merely to acknowledge whatever we are experiencing." - Shwe Oo Min Sayadaw
The watched mind brings happiness.
Dhp 36
I am larger and better than I thought. I did not know I held so much goodness.

Yes - so true! I think the above should be chiseled in granite and highlighted with gold leaf.
Thanks for sharing, Don!
