Foreword
The quotes in this book are mainly from a meditation instruction video given by Kyunpin Sayādaw (U Jaṭila) in Thailand in 2015 and other talks given in English at Kyunpin Meditation Center in Myanmar in 2019.
It is better if you watch the video (on www.kyunpin.com) to have an overview about how to practice before reading the quotes.
Kyunpin Sayādaw said he means the same when he uses the following words: observe, follow, feel, note, watch, see, know what you are doing, mindful, aware.
I would like to thank Kyunpin Sayādaw for permitting me to compile and publish this book and other people for their valuable help. The book is for internal use only.

Observe carefully, continuously
and do not omit even the smallest activity.
(Kyunpin Sayādaw)
Don’t control.
Don’t try to control when the body shakes or leans forward or backward. Just keep observing.
Don’t try to breathe stronger or slower.
In walking meditation, walk like you do in your daily life but a little bit slower.
(Kyunpin Sayādaw)
During one hour of sitting meditation, if your concentration and mindfulness is not strong enough, many things can happen: wandering mind, sleepiness, seeing images, body bending, shaking…
Whatever happens, don’t think it’s wrong; just observe. If yogis do not understand this point, no one can help.
(Kyunpin Sayādaw)
