REMOVAL OF DISTRACTING THOUGHTS

U SILANANDA SAYADAW

(Based on a talk given at a retreat with Vietnamese meditators.) by Sayadaw U Sìlànanda

During the various kinds of mindfulness meditation, such as sitting and walking meditation, yogis may find that distracting thoughts arise in their minds and prevent them from keeping mindfulness and concentration. It would be very beneficial if yogis knew how to deal with these distracting thoughts. We are fortunate that Buddha gave a short but powerful Sutta on this subject. This Sutta is in the Majjhima Nikàya (Sutta no. 20), and the Commentary to the Sutta is translated by Soma Thera in The Wheel Series (no. 21), published by the Buddhist Publication Society of Kandy, Sri Lanka.
