Question: Dear Sayadaw, how can we let go of wrong views, doubts and eliminate wrong views?

Most of my teachings are right understanding about doing good deeds and vipassana meditation. Practicing and teaching about right understanding is not easy. I need to practice and teach right understanding with many doubts in my mind and in the mind of the others.

Wrong understanding and suspicious or doubt already exist in the mind. Buddha Dharma Sangha is complete by itself. No wrong understanding and no doubt in the side of Buddha Dharma Sangha. Wrong understanding and doubt is in the side of living beings. We need to do good deeds with mindfulness and detachment with right understanding and believing on right understanding.

Practicing meditation is like civil war. We need to fight ourselves or our citizens or nationalities. Practicing vipassana is also fighting against inner war. There is fighting in the mind between wrong understanding or ignorance and doubt.

With right understanding or mindfulness or believing. This inner war is essential for all the meditators. We need to control the mind to be stable and pure. We need to do all kinds of good deeds with right understanding or mindfulness and detachment. If we can control the mind to be stable and pure, we can control many things. If we cannot control wrong understanding our doubt, we cannot get success in our practice for sure. We can get success as much as we can control our wrong understanding and doubts.
