Question: Dear Sayadaw! How could I know that I am on the right way of practicing?

“If you are following the method of doing or not doing only by doing all kinds of good deeds, this is easy to understand whether we are in the right way or not. As long as we are able to do like this, we are in the right way. If we give up, if we reject this method of doing only and stop doing like this, it will not be in the right way. For those who don’t have chance to know about this method. If they can understand about this method, they are on the right way; if they can understand and practise like this, they are on the right way. This is making decision by ourselves. Besides, we can also learn from the others who are following this method, we can follow from the master. The same method there will be the same experiences. That’s why the practise and experiences will not be much different. So by learning from those who are following this method ahead we can understand whether we are on the right way. Besides, the best, the surest will be If we are able to do it accurately, we can be free from doubt, we will be sure we are in right way.”
