Question: Sayadaw, I can feel that your intention of welcoming everyone at this time is very good but what if there are negative impacts as a result like someone get infected with the virus? Thank you Sayadaw!

– ” We cannot reject the side effects for sure. No one and nothing is complete. So this is one of the methods we are using here to do good deeds. It is deep, it is simple but difficult to understand in the right way. That’s why there will be misunderstandings. Because of misunderstanding, there will be wrong actions and then there will be sufferings for that person. But even if in that condition, that one may/can learn from that mistake for sure. Sometimes, you cannot remind them, reminding is not complete. Only by our own experience whatever good or bad, we can understand very well. That’s why there will be side effects of misusing this place but there will also be good points, right understanding and right using, right view, right action in this center. They are really great. Therefore there will be loss and profit. The profit is much greater than the loss. That’s why we worth of doing like this for sure. This kind of teaching and doing good deeds can educate, can be attractive to many people in the world. That’s why many people have chance to learn this theory, cause and effect. That’s why this can change the whole society, the whole world.

This is the same in Thabawa Center, in the beginning, there are many misunderstandings and wrong actions but on the other hand, there are also the right views and right actions. There is competition between each other. Finally, the power of doing good deeds became stronger than the power of doing evil things and then this center fully changed, unstable to stable, impossible to possible. We are working together that’s why everyone gets good results even the old and sick people, they can be mindful, they can meditate. They cannot volunteer but because of the changing of Thabawa Center, many people have a chance to rely on this center. So if more and more people in the world do like this, there will be competition between good and bad, right and wrong for sure. If we are able to do so in the long term, we are sure to get success in the side of the doing only, middle way.

Now in Myanmar, Thabawa Center spread like a virus around the country. So many people have chance to do good deeds. That’s why there will be competition between the whole country, doing like this and not doing like this, doing good deeds freely and not doing good deeds, doing bad things freely. In the former years, the condition of this country is really bad. Now the change is apparent. Now we can do many things, so also the change of Thabawa Center is amazing. Many people hadn’t thought Thabawa Center like this in the former years. Only by their own experience, they have to accept it. And then they follow us. Now in Thailand, Vietnam… more and more people are doing like this. They like this theory and they like this practice. This is for all to go out to buy the food, that is not much important but you should try to be mindful. If you’re doing with mindfulness and detachment, you are safe. If you are doing with ignorance and attachment, you are not safe. Going out for food is not much difficult, many people will do like this but you should be mindful. You should use the power of the mind. If your mind is not stable, not pure, you should not go. Only when your mind is stable and pure, you should go out to buy food. This is using the power of the stable and pure mind. Whatever you do, you should do like this. Because of doing good deeds continuously, it is really difficult for us to be affected by the virus. Even if we are infected, it will be difficult to lose our life, we can be survived. It is easy to close the center or to shut down the door and no more connection with the people outside. It is easy but not the best. We cannot do that, because there is a big group of people here, we can do good deeds more and more in this condition. This is the best for all.”
