Quotation

A meditator in Singapore once wrote a letter to Ajaan Fuang, describing how he applied the Buddha’s teachings to everyday life: Whatever his mind focused on, he would try to see it as inconstant, stressful, and not-self. Ajaan Fuang had me write a letter in response, saying, “Do things ever say that they’re inconstant, stressful, and not-self? They never say it, so don’t go faulting them that way. Focus on what labels them, for that’s where the fault lies.” — “Awareness Itself”
