Today marks the last day of the 11-day Vipassana Meditation Retreat in BMBMC under the guidance of Venerable Sayadaw U Ukkhamsa. In tonight parting Dhamma talk, Ven. Sayadaw advised the yogis to meditate always. Sayadaw said that there are purposefully and permanently meditating; purposefully meditating is when a yogi comes to retreat and meditates for the whole duration of the retreat. Permanently meditating is better in that a yogi after retreat will still continued to meditate in his daily life. This is what Ven Sayadaw wishes every yogi will continue doing after the retreat.
In praising the donors and helpers, Ven. Sayadaw mentioned the three characteristics required of the donor and similarly the three characteristics required of the recipients so that maximum benefit can befall the donor. In retreat, the yogis do have the necessary three characteristics of the recipient to benefit the donor.
