We all will meditate together in this morning session. The mind of living beings is not free from ignorance and attachment. Now, by practicing meditation, we need to change the mind from ignorance and attachment to mindfulness and detachment. The more we are mindful of one object continuously, the more we can detach from the others. The more we can detach from the objects, the more we can be mindful of only one object.

The more we are able to be mindful on our body and mind, the more we can detach from the body and mind of the others. The more we are able to mindful on one object, the more we can detach from the others.

The aim of practicing meditation or mindfulness and detachment is to know the truth about mindfulness and detachment. The more we know about mindfulness and detachment? the more we can use the power of mindfulness and detachment to fulfill our needs and to get success in our lives.

Object, time, place, person, situation we use to be mindful are not much important. Only the action of mindfulness and detachment is really important. In some of the international airport, wifi or internet can use anytime, anywhere, for anyone and any situation. Practicing meditation should be the same as wifi or internet.

Mindfulness and detachment should be practiced by anyone, in anywhere, in any situation, and anytime. This is the truth about practicing meditation or mindfulness and detachment. For me, I have been teaching meditation or mindfulness and detachment with this right understanding successfully. There are more and more Thabarwa meditation centers or Thabarwa yogis and meditators, time after time.

Dhamma or the truth, what I understand, concerned with Buddha is doing all kinds of good deeds without limit with mindfulness and detachment. There is limit in everyone and everything. Therefore, we don’t need to attach on the created limit of the living beings. We just need to use and understand on our limits to do all kinds of good deeds.

Because of practicing meditation as much as I can, limitlessly, doing good deeds with mindfulness and detachment limitlessly became my life. If there is doing all kinds of good deeds limitlessly in this society, I’m still alive. If there is no doing good deeds limitlessly, I’m dead. In this way, I can successfully detach from my life or my body and mind by doing all kinds of good deeds limitlessly.

The more we can detach from living beings and non-living beings, including ourselves and our body and mind, the more we can understand and do all kinds of good deeds with mindfulness and detachment. Our mind is not healthy and wealthy because of ignorance and attachment on young and old, sick and healthy, life and death. The more we can detach from the opposite situations of young and old, sick and healthy, life and death of living beings, the more our mind will be healthy and wealthy.

Close the eyes gently, relax the whole body and mind. Whatever we do, we should do with mindfulness and detachment. There will be no ending if we are doing with ignorance and attachment.
There will be the end if we are doing with mindfulness and detachment. Endless cause and effect or life cycles is created by ignorance and attachment. Ending of cause and effect or endless life cycle is caused by mindfulness and detachment.

In these days, I’m not feeling very well because of traveling continuously, different situations or weathers like hor and cold, walking continuously. If I cannot detach from not feeling very well, I cannot teach like this. Because of the power of mindfulness and detachment, I can continue teaching in this 10day meditation retreat. Because of ignorance and attachment on ourselves or our family members, we are difficult to do good deeds continuously.

Meditation or mindfulness and detachment are everything. Mindfuless and detachment are the most effective medicine for the patients. With this right understanding, I can successfully create many Dharma hospitals across Myanmar.

Education, health care, business and politics in the society is not complete. There are also many side effects. That’s why, we need to detach from these social activities. We need to rely on doing good deeds with mindfulness and detachment as much as we can. Before I started practicing meditation, I was just one of the educated man and the owner of my business. Only when I started practicing meditation, I’m able to do more and more good deeds without limits. I’m also able to teach more and more people in the society or in the world.

If we are practicing meditation, who are we or which aspect are we using to practice or who is our meditation teacher, is not much important. Only mindfulness and detachment in the present moment by doing more and more good deeds is really important.

We cannot reject old age, sickness and death from the society. But we can detach from this situation. But we can use the old, the sick, the dead to do all kinds of good deeds with mindfulness and detachment. As a human being, if we are not healthy and wealthy. We are difficult to do something until we get success. So also, if the mind is not healthy and wealthy, we cannot give or donate to the others, we cannot keep precepts, we can practice meditation or mindfulness and detachment.

As a meditator, we should understand ourselves like this, I’m no one, I’m nothing, I’m just mindfulness and detachment, I’m just doing all kinds of good deeds. This is right understanding, this is the truth of practicing mindfulness and detachment.

We don’t need to be greedy to get what we want. We just need to be busy with doing good deeds wifh mindfulness and detachment as much as we can. In this way, we are sure to get what we want in the right time.
